One of a few bright spots in the 80s

Can't say that I ever saw the Mary Kay interior option before.

It's really cool in this black color and a fine model overall. There are some extra details here compared to my "Elite" silver version from Ertl.

Isn't that a bizarre color? If that was a period interior choice, I may have slept through the Eighties.

The interior is correct. It's burgundy.... I thought it was cool. The T-Tops (and bag) are a nice & accurate touch (I know).  These models are great but not 100% correct. Some of the body lines are off. But of course the REAL problem with these 1/18 "Montes" is that... THEY ARE NOTOROUS FOR SUFFERING DIE CAST CANCER!!! 😖 😖 😖 

Sadly, It's very DIFFICULT to find a good one...then one finds themselves in a dilemma, "How long does mine have BEFORE it disintegrates?"

An actual muscle car by definition was this '87 Monte Carlo SS which, along with those Buick turbos, brought the genre back from the dead.

 

beautiful pictures, I find black is sometimes hard to capture it effect but love yours, I have this model in silver but my last time I had it out some diecast cancer had set in. 

@galen55 Same thing with my silver LeMans (see post).

It looks like a very nice model. I've not seen one in person before. It's too bad about the diecast cancer, such a shame when a good models goes that way.
