So has anyone gone over the edge like me?
I realized last night after ordering the 1954 Buick Wildcat II by Minichamps that I now have 5/6 of the Motorama cars on order. Holy Motorama's Batman!
Thing is, I'm hoping that this line is extremely successful for Minichamps so they will continue on with more Concept Cars.

Yeah... I'm there too.. My aching wallet!

Ditto, Yes Me to! The Edsel Ford & La Salle are here so is the Excina. The 540 MB is coming as are the rest.

Yes! I've pre-ordered the LeSabre, Wildcat II, and Centurion from Legacy.

Hey, everybody knows you'd order all the Buicks. LOL
I have ordered all but two, I wouldn't give two cents for the LaSalle or the Ford Soap Box Derby car. Having been raised in Akron, I had enough Soap Box Derbies when I was a kid. Can't see spending $300 for Fords Derby. JMO though, I know a lot of guys like'em both.

Jim, part of what's so cool about these three Buicks is that all have survived. I'd love, of course to see future releases of the XP-300, which was a sister car developed alongside the LeSabre, and the Wildcat I.
The XP-300, Wildcat II, and Centurion are all in the Sloan Museum in Flint. Joe Bortz owns the surviving Wildcat I, and GM Heritage has both the Y-Job and the LeSabre.
