#27C Cadillac Sixty-Special

When Matchbox decided to add another American car to the lineup in 1960, they went big — with this 1958 Cadillac Sixty-Special. It wasn't the first American car they produced, but it was more posh than the previous two — both Ford station wagons. The #27C Caddy came in a few different color combinations, but the one I remember best (probably because I had one) was this lilac and pink two-tone. The pics below of the real car come courtesy of Facebook friend Jim Jordan of Oklahoma City. — jc
