One of DMs best.  I especially liked the 2-tone purple version.

Great pics John of a great model.  Have it and love it!  But I don't like those hideous Gold Wheel Covers...not even a little bit.  On the real car, I'd have opted out of those or not bought the car at all due to them if regular wheel covers weren't available on it.

nice to see u back John. Agree with the wheel cover colors George, they are far too prominent. Hollis has 'fixed' them on one of his masterpieces.

Love the model. I think they're supposed to be a matte gold instead of being shiny.

@geno 

I considered a few years ago to attempt a wheel cover/wheel change from the Fireflite Hardtop. I never got around to it and now, I probably won't get around to it. I'd still have to buy a donor car.
