Not too bad for a high-end Road Signature, but it's slightly under-scaled... so I don't show it off much.

REAL nice looking Mark II Chris. Is it more like 1:19 or 1:20th scale?

@chris It's so nice I'd probably display it by itself. Or with some 1:20 Revell Creative Masters -

Beautiful car and diecast model ! I have both the white and the black model in this Yat Ming Signature Series replica and they are favorites.

The 1:19 scale reminds me of the Mattel Batmobile. It's a 1:19 scale, too. Are there any others?

It is a very nice model. If it is displayed forward of anything else natural foreshortening may help comparative scales 
and sit in next to a Nash Rambler rather than a Cadillac - or Lincoln ?

Yes, yes there are.... the "quick 5" that come to mind are:
- Signature's 1955 Imperial
- Ertl's 1959 Cadillac (Ghost Busters ) NOTE: HW's '59 GB Cadillac is spot on... SEE PIC
- YatMing's 1955 Packard Carribean
- YatMing's 1953 Packard Carribean
- YatMIng's 1952 Lincoln Capri

Correct! I didn't do myself any favors by parking it near that big red '56 Premiere! As you noted, a Nash would've been a much better choice. 😀 Or I could try to purchase Roger Zimmermann's totally hand-crafted 1/12 Mark II.... Good luck, right? I would assume nothing less than $80,000 would get it, assuming he'd even part with it.

@chris - $80k for the Zimmerman Lincoln? I doubt that would be enough. I'm thinking north of $200k for that masterpiece with operation power windows!!!
Also, the difference in size of the Ghost Busters Caddys are striking!

It seems to have the same, if not more, features as the Franklin Mint 1/24. I think it looks damned good for the money.

Perhaps... but a few days ago, I posted a video (large scale forum ) of an Amalgam 1/8 Aston Martin DB5 (Bond ) just as nice or better than Roger's Lincoln. The MSRP on that is $25,000. Therefore, $80K for Roger's '56 seems to be a pragmatic price point.
That being said, however, it would be very interesting to see just what some of his 1/12 creations would actually fetch in an auction setting. 🤔 🤔 🤔
His current 1/12 1932 Cadillac project continues to impress.
Remember folks: Everything you see, rubber tires, spoke rims, frame, engine, etc., everything.. IS HAND-CRAFTED by Roger! As I've said 1,496 time before... HE IS MY inspiration/hero! 😇 🤓
