one more resin [PIC]
The 1925 Rolls Royce Jonckheere Phantom 1.
Of 75 produced, only 25 were made in the 3 colors it existed in.
This is the original gold. It was then in white and finally black as it is now in the Petersen Museum.

Dennis, I can't even tell you who made this.
I got this out of China about 11 years ago It was made probably using RTV moldss for the resin and RTV/lost wax for the metal castings, due to the low overall castings (75 total units).
The castings are very high quality (flawless) so these guys had the right equipment and were technically savvy. These may have been an "after hours project" by modelers employed by a known company.
The model was shipped with no box art or logo.
They may pop up on the secondary market, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
They were "in business" for a while because mine came missing a door handle and they sent one from China promptly.

I have the CMF, it's incredible, but...
I haven't taken photos of it yet because I broke the hood ornament. :(( Joe at American Excellence is trying to help, I hope he can find one.

Now that I think about it....
It may be possibly be their first image. I remember reading a short article about it in whatever hobby magazine that was around at the time and I do remember that it probably was CMF which I had never heard of back 11 years ago.
