The original model on which this miniature is based is the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 from the fourth generation, produced from 1965 to 1970.

Technical Details of the Original

The fourth generation Cadillac Fleetwood 75 featured a 7.0-liter V8 engine capable of delivering up to 375 horsepower. This impressive powerplant was complemented by a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission, providing a smooth and powerful ride. The vehicle was also equipped with extensive luxury features such as air conditioning, power-adjustable seats and windows, and a premium audio system. This made it ideal for heads of state and prominent figures who valued special comfort and prestige. The Cadillac Fleetwood 75 succeeded the third generation produced from 1959 to 1964, which was already considered one of the most luxurious vehicles of its time. It belonged to the heyday of the era marked by American prosperity and optimism, as illustrated by the inauguration of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965.

Specifications of the 1/18 BoS Models Miniature

The BoS Models scale 1/18 model car is made of high-quality resin and impresses with numerous fine details. The glossy black finish and meticulous craftsmanship beautifully reflect the original. Noticeable are the sharply defined lines and chrome accents running along the body. Also remarkable is the precise reproduction of the classic grille design and headlight shapes that give the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 its distinctive look. This miniature car would be a particularly impressive display piece in any collection, especially due to its limitation to 1000 pieces. Both the authentic wheels reminiscent of the American automotive artistry of the 60s and the placement of the Cadillac badges leave nothing to be desired.

Historical Context and Highlights

The fourth-generation Cadillac Fleetwood 75 reflects a piece of automotive history deeply rooted in American identity. The year 1965, when this generation was introduced, was also marked by significant historical events that shaped this era – from Martin Luther King's march from Selma to Montgomery to demand civil rights, to the release of Bob Dylan's iconic album "Highway 61 Revisited," which changed the cultural landscape of the USA. These examples help to better understand the temporary context of the vehicle model and illustrate the time when the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 was a status symbol. The original vehicles were often seen at state visits and ceremonial occasions, defining them as a showcase of American engineering and luxury. The BoS Models miniature also masterfully captures this past and allows collectors worldwide to showcase a piece of that era on their shelf.
