This amazing and yet classic car is based on a 1948 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette and was buit or built for rocker Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. The name actually consists of 3 words: Cadillac, ZZ Top and Godzilla (-for its size). Even the license plate says “I8TOKYO” [“I ate Tokyo” – a reference to famous Godzilla movie].

Wow what a lovely piece! I love the art-deco style. If this was available in 1:18 it would be on my shelf!
