Beautiful car! We had a new one in 1975; one of our favorite cars ever.
This is really a very nice Monte model, but it's one don't have. 😌 😌
It is a true beauty and a terrific diecast model from Ertl. The real one must have been a blast to drive ! I have this 1/18 in a maroon color and it displays great.
How good is that model? They sent me a pre-production sample to review and it was horrible. There was actually a large dent in the rt front fender. The headlamps were so dark as to be almost black. I could go on, but I did a pictorial review, pointing out the drawbacks and after that, they never sent me another review sample. Like, I was supposed to lie? I never saw a production model up close as it wasn't an image I particularly wants, so I never knew if they fixed the problems.
"How good is that model?"
Overall, not bad - certainly better than the average Ertl. Autoworld brightened up (but still not great ) the headlights on their black release.
