Nice line-up George (great models too!). Reminds me of a pic I posted years ago (on the old forum)... I had the entire 1959 GM line-up in 1/18. I'll have to re-pose & re-shoot it someday. To save money, GM top management insisted that ALL 1959 2-dr hardtops share the same door. It's interesting to me just how all five makes (Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac & Chevrolet) used subtle design differences to conceal this fact. Gotta love the "all new" '59 GM line up!

Outstanding group of '59 GM models, George ! As with Chris, I have enjoyed putting together a 1/18 line up of 1959 diecasts.
For me, it would be '59 Olds (SunStar), '59 Pontiac (SunStar), 1959 Buick (Yat Ming) 1959 Chevrolet (Yat Ming or Hotwheels El Camino) and 1959 Cadillac (Maisto or Precision Miniatures .... although others could use the AutoArt or Hotwheels versions)

My '59's posted above are from the following companies: OLDSMOBILE and PONTIAC are Sun Star; the BUICK is Yat Ming; and the CADILLAC is Auto Art. Beauties all of them!
