Talking about a Ford, how about one from Autoart called the Forty Nine. Part of a group of show cars from Ford that went around to nationwide dealers. I saw these cars in person, wow! Dad was working for Ford at the time and we spent most of a day just looking them over. The roof on this goes from clear to dark tint, amazing, and yet Ford has never used it on a production car, strange.

This 49 is awesome... I have 3 Ford concept cars... 49, Cobra and
Shelby GR1....

How's the finish on the GR 1 holding up ? According to the List & Reviews it was a very complicated process to complete.

Yep!

I have GR1 since 2015... Didn't find it complicated to maintain... applied aluminium polish 2-3 times and it is absolutely ok. However, the model is very light in comparison to Zinc alloy made models but it is worth to have in collection..

I didn't say maintain. I said to manufacture. Have you read the description in the L&R's ?

Oh I see.. Yes it is written that it was very difficult to craft this model..

Yeah ! What a process ! I consider you lucky that you have one. I wonder how many actually went to market.

I think about or more than 1000 pcs... (may be incorrect...)

That's not a lot for world-wide production. They must be $$$$ now.
