@perrone1 It is not that it is that rare, you can find them and they are expensive, the issue is trying to find one without damage or paint rash, the one I found is is great condition and the color is ivory. The detail of this car is outstanding, the wheels are removable with the supplied lug wrench, I hesitate to remove them only because the lug nuts are so small I don't want to chance cross threading one of them, but if you do remove the tires the detail to the brake system is just as good as the rest of the car.

 

I meant to post this to Rich.

@john3976 - The CMC Mercedes Benz 600 has removable lug nuts.  I did it one time just to have the experience.  I doubt I'll ever do it again.

I had a 1/24 or 25th scale BMW 635 that had individual hub bolts and lug nuts. I just can't remember if it was a Hasegawa or Fujimi kit. It also had opening doors hood and trunk and it had the proper front seat railings they didn't move but still they were included so you just didn't have the seats glued to the floor pan. This was over 20 years ago almost 30 years ago I don't know whatever happened to that kit. I just remember how detailed it was and I probably paid less than $30 for it.

So my question is, is there a tire valve stem somewhere in that hubcap that I haven't seen ?

Valve stems were not included but there is ONE MAJOR flaw that was well known, BEFORE I made the purchase..... for some reason, NO white back-up lights were ever tooled for these Fleetwoods.  They should appear, horizontally, on each side just above the rear bumper.   This is something I could fix but haven't (yet ).
