...well, this is a really nice pic, but I must admit - you have me stumped!    It's rare that I'm not familiar with (whether I own it or not ) a particular scale model.   I thought I knew about your Oldsmobile, but when I "searched,"  I couldn't confirm it. 

Then I Googled  various scales, years, "banks,"  and "decanters,"  but......    🤔 🤔 🤨

I always wanted a decent model of the Curved Dash Oldsmobile. That looks pretty nice!

Rich, do YOU know anything about that model?    As I noted, I'm stumped.  🤨 🤔 😫

Certainly not your father's Oldsmobile...more like your great grandfather's Oldsmobile!

@chris I've only ever seen a cheap promo of the Curved Dash Olds. It came out the same time as these '49 and '50 88s. It may have been commissioned by the Oldsmobile Curved Dash Club for their anniversary (1908-2008). I remember it was rather crude so I passed. These are 1/25 diecasts issued in'08:

GM 035
GM 034 001

 

GM 032
GM 025
GM 022
GM 029
GM 028
GM 036

@rich-sufficool I don't even remember that curved-dash model, but I do remember the '49 & '50.      This vintage Aurora kit is my only memory of a curved-dash model.

For Rich
