Thanks Chris 👍 I’ve only ever seen one 550 at the Garden Grove show in all the years it has been held. It was a show stopper.

I made one from an inexpensive Maisto model. Needed to repaint the interior and added decals that I got from old buddy Bill Bennett

@franklemire Yes, you and hundreds of others did the same but NOW Schuco  has produced the best 1/18 example of this car that I'm aware of; no doubt MANY collectors will trade up.    My ONLY gripe is that really terrible James Dean figure, but replacements (better James Dean figures ) can be found.

@chris The good news is that the figure is not glued or screwed to the seat.
