1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO SEVILLE

2 DOOR HARDTOP

1:24 DANBURY MINT

EXTREMELY NICE CADILLAC MODEL

FROM MY LONGTIME PERSONAL COLLECTION OF SCALE MODEL CARS

PLEASE READ SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION AS FOLLOWS:

EXTREMELY NICE MODEL. AND ONE THAT IS HARD TO FIND.  THERE IS VERY SLIGHT PAINT RASH HERE AND THERE AS IS TYPICAL FOR THIS GENERATION OF DANBURY/FRANKLIN MINT DIE CAST CARS. VERY SLIGHT MEANS THE FOLLOWING: YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE CAR AT JUST THE RIGHT ANGLE AND WITH DIRECT BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE THE IMPERFECTIONS.   EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS CAR IS AS IT SHOULD BE, EXCELLENT TO MINT. THERE ARE NO MISSING PARTS-NO STICK ON METAL EMBLEMS MISSING. SEE THE PHOTOS-THEY SERVE AS A BONA FIDE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.  NO PAPERWORK.  BOX HAS LIGHT SHELF WEAR. 

IMPORTANT CAVEAT FOR THESE FRANKLIN/DANBURY/OTHER  CHINESE MADE DIE CASTS:

THESE MODELS WHILE BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR DETAIL ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR PROBLEMS. ONE OF THEM IS A QUALITY ISSUE KNOWN AS "PAINT RASH" ON QUITE A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE MODELS.  ABOUT 90% OF THESE MODELS HAVE THIS ISSUE.  a LOT OF SELLERS DON'T DISCLOSE THIS OR CRITICALLY ASSESS THEIR MODELS HOPING A BUYER WON'T NOTICE. ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM IS THAT THE LATER GENERATION MODELS HAD EMBLEMS, SCRIPT AND BLOCK LETTERS THAT WERE CAST IN SEPARATE PIECES IN MINIATURE OUT OF METAL OR PLASTIC AND THEN ATTACHED TO THE PAINTED BODIES WITH ADHESIVE. WHILE MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL AND REALISTIC, THE PROBLEM WAS THE CHINESE DIDN'T USE A LONG LASTING ENOUGH ADHESIVE. SO QUITE OFTEN THIS FAILS WITH THE RESULTANT LOSS OF THE EMBLEM WHICH CAN GREATLY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE MODEL.     I AM A COLLECTOR OF MODEL CARS FOR MY ENTIRE 60 YEARS OF LIFE. I AM NOT A "PICKER" WHO AMONG OTHER THINGS FINDS THESE MODELS AT GARAGE / ESTATE SALES- SO I DESCRIBE MY ITEMS ACCURATELY AND CRITICALLY. THAT'S A GOOD THING. 

PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER THAT IF SOME EMBLEM LOSES IT'S "ADHESIVE" EN ROUTE FROM ME TO YOU, AND IT FALLS OFF, THIS IS NOT A DEFECT I CAUSED NOR CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR.  IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT, EVER, PICK UP ONE OF THESE MODELS WITH YOUR FINGERS ON AN EMBLEM! OTHERWISE YOU'RE LIKELY TO HAVE IT IN YOUR HAND OR ON THE FLOOR, LOST AND NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN.

 BOXES:  ALL MY BOXES WILL HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR. ANYTHING MORE SERIOUS IS LISTED IN MY SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION.
