Vive la France...[PIC]

This 1937 Panhard et Levassor shows early deco-streamline design that spread around the world.
The tutone finish really sets it off. I love the little eagles on the headlamp bezels and radiator grill.

Richard, that's fabulous!!................

It's wonderful images like that that make me realize how lucky we are to have resin model producers like Bos-Models. Not only do they do a terrific job at a reasonable price, but we'd never get many of their choices in metal. They can risk making interresting non-mainstream vehicles and they make up for the lack of opening features with amazing fit and finish.

I was never one to complain about the advent of resin curbside models.

My cups runneth over with images that would never have been done in diecast.
And I know, with you, I'm preaching to the choir.
