Lee, I love the Fruehauf name, number, and NYC detail in the right-hand corner of your first photo.  And, your growing milk car collection is making me jealous.

Yesterday a package arrived from forum sponsor Diecast Direct that looks at lot like your blue metallic painted model pictured immediately above.  It was back ordered and, honestly, I never thought I'd see it.  The car claims to be a 1949 Cadillac Coup de Ville (pink of course), but Wikipedia documents no such animal.  It looks more like a 1949 Cadillac 60-something series.

My floor layout and trains remain boxed up but I think the car looks great with my dining room placemats :-).

Someone with a very steady hand may be able to detach the interior and disassemble the seat back to add interior detailing (radio, pedals, handles).  I may try to add a tiny reddish Caddy logo to the center of the hubcaps.  Most of the 1:1 web photos show it and that's more my speed .
