Neo made a few select 1/18 resin 'curbside models' (no opening parts, etc.) a few years ago that, although met resistance from traditional metal diecast collectors, were absolutely beautifully finished and were usually subjects that had never before been done by the diecast metal manufacturers.
Neo's foray into 1/18 resin vehicles was, no doubt, superseded by the BOS-Models resin facsimiles that were half the price, but some of the NEO subjects were never reproduced by BOS. A few of the NEO 1/18 models also included poseable steering that was not copied on the BOS cost reduced versions.
A few of my favorite 1/18 NEOs are shown below: 1963 Saab 96, Daimler Double Six, Jaguar MK VIII, '49 Cadillac Sedanette

I have one 1:18 NEO model, this Madeira Maroon 1949 Cadillac. Luv it. I also have their black 1:24 version.

Always thought that 1949 Cadillac was very well done.
