Modified Miniature of the Cadillac Town Car Custom Carved Panel Hearse
The Cadillac Town Car Custom Carved Panel Hearse is a vehicle originally designed for elegant and respectful transportation during funerals. The 1/18 scale miniature depicted here, crafted by Precision Miniatures, is a lovingly designed model that instantly conveys the special class of its original. However, this miniature has been modified by Modelly member "Play-X" and therefore does not correspond to the original product of the manufacturer Precision Miniatures. It is a diecast model that stands out for its high level of detail.
The Generation and Special Features
The original vehicle belongs to the 11th generation of Cadillacs, produced from 1936 to 1940. This generation was characterized by flowing lines and refined shapes that emphasized the elegant and stately character of the Cadillac brand. The technical specifications of the original included a V8 engine with 150 horsepower and a 3-speed manual transmission. Noteworthy is also the length of the vehicle, guaranteeing a noble presence on the road. The predecessor of this generation was the 10th generation, known for introducing the "Knee-Action" technology.
Special Details of the Miniature
The modified miniature from "Play-X's" collection showcases remarkable details that present the vehicle in a special light. The miniature has been carefully modified, showcasing unique features that deviate from the original design of Precision Miniatures. Noticeable are the intricately crafted side panels adorned with carved embellishments. The paint job in a subdued, classic color is complemented by the shiny chrome accents of the bumpers and grilles. The front design with round headlights and the distinctive grille contributes to the authentic appearance of the model.
Historical and Technical Heritage of the Original
The Cadillac Town Car Custom Carved Panel Hearse embodies the heritage of luxury and high-quality craftsmanship that Cadillac has established in automotive history. Originally developed for special occasions and ceremonies, the Hearse offered a spacious and dignified interior. The vehicle combined comfort with the ability to effortlessly handle longer distances. Particularly notable was the original's paint job, typically kept in muted and dignified tones and often customized according to individual preferences to suit the occasion. The modified character of the miniature in 1/18 scale offers collectors the opportunity to faithfully recreate a piece of this history while preserving the uniqueness of individual design.
