I owe apologies to Emmanuel for having misplaced the images he sent a few years ago of his interesting collection of paper & card 1:12 scale Cadillacs and La Salles.  As you can tell, he is a fan of the fifties, although he has built also a fine replica of a 1938 La Salle (below).

You have to admire the talent of the model maker to achieve the auto-body shapes of the thirties and fifties using materials that are not particularly adapted to the compound curvature of a thirties La Salle fender.

Bravo. Emmanuel!  Good work.

(résumé en français)

Emmanuel de Horne est un modéliste belge dont les créations en papier et carton sont impressionnantes de réalisme. On doit admirer son talent qui réussit, à partir de matières que ne s'y prêtent guère, à mouler les formes bulbeuses des ailes des Cadillac et La Salle des années trente et cinquante.
