I've always enjoyed Flyers like these from the mints, as it's like having photos of my cars in an album.  The little warmth of excitement felt when I'd get the mail and the rush to order a model, has only been surpassed by the actual model arriving on my doorstep.  I know that for all of us who loves old cars and especially these profound replica's can relate to these feelings.  And once a new model is on my shelf, I immediately couldn't wait for the next Flyer (or Brochure) to arrive, so I could order again and relive the high that this addiction delivers.

George, your last sentence says it all for me. The thrill of the hunt is as exciting as the ownership.

They are all excellent. I ordered every one except the two-green Olds, not sure how I missed that one. I have one now, but it took some patience and restraint 'cause they have gotten a little pricey now. I waited for just the right opportunity and a good price I could live with.

The Lincoln is my favorite 1:24 model, but the that turquoise (Thunderbird Blue) Thunderbird is exceptional too. Such a perfect & iconic color.

@jcarnutz, glad you were able to find the two-tone Green '55 Oldsmobile.  It's a beauty!  When DM announced it, I actually ordered two of them, as I wanted to be able to display it with both Top Up and Top Down.  I did the same with Red & White original release of the car.  Being that I'm an Oldsmobile guy, I'm sure you can understand why I'd do that.

@bob-jackman, it's an addiction that is safe and legal.  So I say indulge to the max.  Smile

@georgeschire

yes George. I do understand that. I’ve done that as well. Just not the Oldsmobile.
