Presidential Cadillac DTS limousine by Greenlight is a nice reasonably priced 1:43 scale model much less costly than many 43rd scale offerings today. Known as the "Beast" it has served President Obama for his terms. Great high gloss paint, tampo printed chrome accents, correct Cadillac crest on the grill, Cadillac wreaths on the E posts. Interior details replicated including dash. No opening features to detract from accuracy. Some under carriage detail including engine, suspension, exhaust system, and fuel tank. Car appears slightly larger than 1:43rd as it is labeled, but research shows the real car is really a substantially bulked up DTS on a heavy duty GM chassis. Washington DC license plates on front and rear.

I've given this model 5 stars because of its detail and accuracy at this price point. This is often true of many of the Greenlight 1/43 models. They are priced much below other brands, yet offer the kind of accuracy and detail of the premium brands that you'll pay double or triple for. That said, don't expect all the body trim to be actually "chromed" like the premium brands, and don't expect a clear acrylic showcase, but you'll still be getting a lot for your money. This model is actually more representative of the Kennedy Lincoln after it was revised for added safety for use by President Johnson. But it's still the same car. It is also incorrectly identified as a 1961 car. It is actually a '62, as anyone who knows what the front of a '61 Lincoln looks like, will tell you. The first few months that Kennedy was in office they were still using the '41 Lincoln Continental of FDR, Truman, and Eisenhower. I would highly recommend this model for any Lincoln, Limousine, or Presidential auto collection. However it IS delicate, with its flags, mirrors, spotlights, and other small parts, which is why I didn't rate it as being "Durable."Read full review

I bought this to give away at our annual JFK Lancer Conference in Dallas this November. I should have ordered another one for myself as it is really beautifully made.
