Enthusiast and toy collector, Steve Masson wrote in CFeb. 2008: This is the Original version of the boss Hogg Cadillac by ERTL with chrome bumpers
(I've not come across the black-fronted version you have pictured on your site already, that one's either a later/cheaper version without chrome or
possibly a factory mistake or unreleased sample! 
Personally, I think it's the same toy, except that the upper photo was taken with poor frontal lighting

IMPORTANT NOTE: these true-to-scale model cars are built and assembled with the utmost patience and care;
production numbers are VERY limited (from 12 to a maximum of 250 units of each) it is quite possible that some
models illustrated may no longer be available and cannot be re-issued; in making up these RARE models, many
photo-etched, chrome-plated or black-plated parts are used, as are also the finest decals; carpets also are depicted

t77smmer.jpg (5372 bytes)
This toy was for sale on e-Bay in 2002;
I am guessing it is a copy of the Tomica miniature

Enthusiast Steve Masson wrote: I've been looking at this photo (under the Tomica's, which I have); from the the body shape/mould, my first guess would
have been SUMMER (I'd written an article on this brand for Doug Breithaupt's Tales of Toy Cars) ...but I haven't got this car!  And on closer inspection of the
wheels,  I would say this car is made by LUCKY IND.  (I don't know a lot about this brand, just have a few cars made by them, which use these five pointed
star wheels with the additional holes! Summer have similar wheels) That's my best guess (as you would put it on the IMCDB .... 75% sure!)  Thanks Steve!

models, one for himself and the other one for a collector in Zürich  (no ref. no. because it's not a production model);

The hearse to the right is from 1975 with body from Pollmann, Germany ( #179)
