(Pics) 1938 Buick "Y Job"

This is the excellent '38 "Y-Job" Buick concept/dream car by Anson. It is a very well-done and rather uncommonly seen 1/18 diecast replica and it is certainly no "toy" as some might have you believe.

Mike, you make that model look like the million dollar car it is in 1:1.

Thanks ! You don't see this Anson 1/18 gem around too much.

PIC - No, you don't. Fortunately, it has been reissued by Auto World.

Hey, oops, you're right, I forgot that AW had picked up some of the Anson tooling like this Y-Job and the '53 Eldorados. It's well worth finding !
