This beauty just arrived in the mail, I’ve read all the negative reviews on Anson ,poor quality,under scaled etc,etc,
sorry but I have to disagree, for those of us not willing to spend 2 or 3 hundred dollars on a single model this was a steal.
ok it doesn’t have a fully piped motor,or fancy photo etched script. Super fancy hinges on the doors,hood or trunk....
im still impressed ☺️

The most important part of anything you mention here, Larry, is that you like it and are satisfied with your purchase. THat's what collecting is all about!

When I look at a model I want to get the feel of the 1/1 and this model does that quite well IMO.

WOW! That model must have been floating around for quite a while. Anson went out of business at least a decade ago. I have some Ansons and while the build quality varies, they produced quite a few images-like this Y-Job, that you couldn't find anywhere else. I'm particularly fond of their Ferrari Dinos. I never bought their Y-Job although it looks great, only because I have it in another scale.

Sometimes it is the less interesting subjects that benefit from greater detail. The same is true of a lot in life.

@larry-kemling Oh Wow.... Do you remember the "Great American Dream Machines"? There was a whole line of 1/43 concept cars... the Lincoln Futura, Corvette Nomad, Chrysler Norseman, Caddy El Camino, etc.. I have to go look, but I think the Y-Job was the first in the series.

Excellent ! This was a fantastic release by Anson and I am glad to have this one. I think AutoWorld/RC/Ertl acquired some of the Anson tooling (like the really nice 1953 Coupe DeVille) and may have released this one later, too.

There is a Buick Y-Job from Great American Dream Machines in 1/43 scale available at Route 66 Model Car Store.
