1935 Cadillac Hot Wheels 1:64 The '35 Classic Caddy









From Fandom:
 The '35 Classic Caddy is a Hot Wheels licensed model designed by Larry Wood. It is modeled after the Cadillac Series 355. The Cadillac Series 355 was manufactured by Cadillac from 1931 to 1935. They were 8-cylinder cars, sold in several models: a 2-door club coupe, a 2-door convertible, 4-door convertible, a 4-door sedan a 4-door town car and a 4-door limousine

The 1935 Model 355E was divided into three series, the Series 10, 20 and 30. Bodies on the Series 10 and 20 were built by coachbuilder Fisher and on the Series 30 by coachbuilder Fleetwood. Styling emphasized streamlining, including concealment of all chassis features except the wheels. Body construction was improved for better insulation against engine heat and reduction of engine, road and wind noise. The grille was V-shaped and sloping, set into a painted shell. Although restricted use of chrome was a feature of the overall ornamentation, a chrome plated radiator shell was available as an option. Horns and radiator filler cap were concealed under the hood. Teardrop Guide Multibeam headlights were mounted on streamlined supports attached to the fenders. Parking lamps were mounted on the headlight supports. Airfoil shaped fenders were brought low over the chassis. The hood sills were high with the entire fender shape molded into the radiator shell. A curious horizontal crease broke the nose contour of the fenders. Hoods extending nearly to the windshield carried shutter-type louvers in the side panel.

The diecast model features two spare tires with covers, an open driver's compartment and an enclosed passenger compartment. The model has the distinct grille and hood louvers.

1963 Cadillac Series 62 Scarface Jada 1:24













Cadillac Sedan de Ville (1961-1964)
Este modelo fue rediseñado para el año 1961 incluyendo una parrilla inclinada hacia atrás donde se insertaban los faros dobles. Los modelos de la serie De Ville destacaban por los guiones de designación delanteros y un cuerpo inferior "talón" adornado con una fina moldura, desde la apertura de la rueda delantera hasta la parte trasera del coche. El equipo estándar incluía servofreno, dirección asistida, transmisión automática, luces traseras dobles, limpiador de parabrisas, limpiaparabrisas de doble velocidad, tapacubos, espejo retrovisor exterior, espejo de cortesía, ventanas y asientos eléctricos de 2 vías. Muelles helicoidales delanteros y traseros de goma reemplazaron al sistema de suspensión de aire por propensos problemas. Los sistemas de inducción de cuatro gargantas eran ahora la única opción de alimentación y el escape doble ya no estaban disponible. Un nuevo cuatro puertas sedán Town de techo duro de corta adornada apareció a mitad de temporada.

Un leve retoque de su aspecto exterior según las tendencias de estilo de Cadillac para 1962, supuso la aparición de una parrilla más plana con una barra central horizontal más gruesa y una inserción rayada más delicada. El panel embellecedor cromado acanalado, que estaba delante de las ruedas delanteras, en 1961, estaban ahora reemplazados por luces angulares. El guardabarros del anterior diseño y algunos emblemas de identificación fueron eliminados. El parachoques delantero ahora alojaba las luces de estacionamiento rectangulares. Las luces traseras fueron insertadas en las góndolas verticales acabadas con un pico en ángulo en el centro. Un panel embellecedor trasero verticalmente acanalado se añadió al cierre de la tapa de la cubierta. La palabra Cadillac también apareció en el lado inferior izquierdo de la parrilla del radiador.

En comparación con el modelo de 1963, aparte de ser casi igual, es que entonces los guardabarros delanteros medían 4,625 cm (1,8 pulgadas) más hacia delante que en 1962. El motor creció hasta los 7,0 L (429 plgs³), con 340 HP (254 kilovatios) disponibles. Las mejoras de rendimiento del nuevo motor se mostraron mejor en el rango inferior, a velocidades comprendidas entre 20 y 50 mph. Una nueva característica técnica fue la transmisión Turbo-Hydramatic, que también se utilizó en otros modelos como el Eldorado y el Sixty Special. La palabra De Ville estaba situada por encima de la moldura inferior, que continuó siendo un identificador. Este fue el primer año de producción para la versión convertible del De Ville. Sus ventas alcanzaron 110.379 unidades, lo que representa cerca de dos tercios de todos los Cadillacs vendidos.

2000 Cadillac Deville DTS Night Vision Maisto 1:18










The Cadillac DeVille was originally a trim level and later a separate model produced by Cadillac. The first car to bear the name was the 1949 Coupe de Ville, a pillarless two-door hardtop body style with a prestige trim level above that of the Series 62 luxury coupe. The last model to be formally known as a DeVille was the 2005 Cadillac DeVille, a full-size sedan, the largest car in the Cadillac model range at the time. The next year, the DeVille was officially renamed the Cadillac DTS.

An automotive night vision system uses a thermographic camera to increase a driver's perception and seeing distance in darkness or poor weather beyond the reach of the vehicle's headlights. Such systems are offered as optional equipment on certain premium vehicles. The technology was first introduced in the year 2000 on the Cadillac Deville. This technology is based on the night vision devices (NVD), which generally denotes any electronically enhanced optical devices operate in three modes: image enhancement, thermal imaging, and active illumination. The automotive night vision system is a combination of NVDs such as infrared cameras, GPS, Lidar, and Radar, among others to sense and detect objects.
