1966 Cadillac Paper Model

American Automobile Papercraft
The first Cadillac Coupe de Ville was produced in 1949. The Coupe de Ville went through several generations of design after that time; the most famous era being the late 1950's, during which the car sported some of the largest "tail fins" ever to grace an America automobile. This 1:24 scale paper model by North07 is of the 1966 design for the Coupe. A Pepakura PDO template and instructions may be found on his website located here. North also has a 1963 Chevy Impala model for download as well! In 2006, the Coupe de Ville was renamed the Cadillac DTS.
