I really like this rather plain looking car; the 2-tone application really helps it out.  Maybe we will see one in 1:43 one day???

Here are more pictures taken today. You are right, Jack, the base model does look nice in a two tone, especially in this Highland Green Surf green scheme.

Rare to find a V8 in a 150 series.

Correct, most had the "big six." (Like this 1/18 1956 150)

I'm a bit puzzled. One photo shows a floor mounted shifter (with white knob), and another shows column mounted shift.  I'm thinking the one is from the real 1:1

These are very cool models from Highway 61 ! I have the red version 150 series from H61 with the fuel-injected V-8. Great "basic" blackwall/low-level trim cars.

@busdriver2089 Right. The floor mount car is a 1:1. HINT: Look at the door hinges, under-the-dash gage cluster and sun visors. The fact that you're almost fooled is a testament to HW 61 scale tooling, fit & finish....and David's photography skills. 😏
