I purchased that Anson model of a 1947 Cadillac in a very poor state in a flea market. As several parts were missing I made a research on the Internet and found pictures of Cuban street cars. I thought it to be very interesting that the owners maintained over 60 years old cars without having the possibility of imported spare parts. These must be inventive folks, I thought and decided to customize the model as a Cuban car. I dissembles it completely, painted it light green and put a new convertible hood and a new bumper at the rear side. Thus I created the Cuban Cadillac: maintained with inventiveness although the time passed left some scars.

You actually can buy a lot of these die-cast models of old cars in specialized shops. Normally they come without figures. The two figures I used here are a knock-off of a Jurassic Park figure and a customized Poison Ivy figure of the series Batman & Robin produced by Kenner in the late 90s.
