Great looking GMP Nova but I never understood why they mad this "lesser model." Every other effort was detailed, full function, etc., etc.... but not this one. Rich, can you offer any insight?

@chris It, along with the Buick Grand National series, was one of their first releases back in the Georgia Peachstate days so not all panels were opening. I think this tooling goes back to the 80s but possibly early 90s. My memory ain't what it used to be.

This is a Peach State 1968 Nova Bill Jenkins Grumpy's Toy, this one they did with a black vinyl top, only the hood opens on it.

All these are very cool but, in my collection, I don't have any Yenkos or Yokos......

@chris Chris....I'll bet you are still eagerly awaiting the release of her Greatest Hits album "Gutteral Utterances".....what a major talent!

@jack-dodds People did (do ) say she has talent but in other areas (writing, sculpture, etc.. ) not necessarily music. Afterall, few people on earth were as ever talented as John Lennon. Compared to him, she, auh, well.... there is no comparison. 🙄 😏 🙄

@chris Well....I would say she molded and shaped herself a pretty comfortable life.

Wow, you make her out to be a no-talent, gold-digging leach! Yikes! By all accounts, she's a wonder person, a great mother, and truly loved John. She was strong & stern but that's exactly what John was attracted to and desperately needed.
True enough she kind-of got in everyone's way during the Beatles recording sessions in the latter years, but that's only because John was so in love, he wanted her by his side.
Her next-door neighbor, for many years, while living in the Dakota (where John was killed ) was Roberta Flack; she has nothing but praise for Yoko.

@chris I guess it's a matter of perspective; which is all any of us have I suppose.
