Auto World Hits a Home Run with this Precision 1932 Cadillac 1:18 Scale Diecast V-16 Sports Phaeton

Let’s take a deep dive into Auto World’s 1:18 scale 1932 Cadillac V-16 diecast model car.

By the 1920s Cadillac was well known for building high quality, luxury automobiles. Using state of the art manufacturing methods Cadillac won the prestigious Dewar Trophy that earned them the coveted “Standard of the World” moniker. Yet Cadillac was outgunned by Packard who offered a V-12 engine vs. Cadillac’s V-8. All that changed in 1930 when Cadillac leapt over Packard with the introduction of the world’s first V-16 engine. A revolutionary new engine that launched Cadillac’s all-new V-16 Series of luxury motor cars.

This Auto World precision 1:18 scale diecast captures the stately elegance of Cadillac’s top of the line V-16 Phaeton to perfection. The long sweeping pontoon fenders and dozens of intricate chrome details will transport you back to America’s golden age of motoring. Notice the attention to detail on the Winged Goddess ornament crowning the radiator. The dual hinged butterfly hood opens to reveal the magnificent V-16 engine. The clean engine design is a tribute to the talents of a young Harley Earl who refined the V-16’s visual appearance as one of his first projects for General Motors.

The doors open and the textured top is removable providing an unfettered view of the fine interior appointments. Rolling on wide whitewall tires mounted on gleaming chrome spoked wheels this magnificent 1:18 scale diecast Cadillac V-16 is sure to elevate your diecast collection to “the standard of the world”!
