The Danbury Mint has strategically used this downtime to launch what some collectors who have seen the project up close consider to be the tour de force of Danbury's 23 years of die-cast replication.
After what was reportedly a two-year gestation period--longer than normal in the die-cast world--Danbury has created a spectacular 1:12 scale 1930 Cadillac V16 Roadster. It is made up of more than 1300 die-cast, rolled-steel, rubber and vinyl parts, weighing in at 14 pounds and spanning 18.5 inches.
From the gorgeous two-tone metallic green paint to the mechanical dazzle of the hallowed V16 engine to the cornucopia of functional features, this finely detailed replica does everything the real car does except burn gasoline.
