Even though they are built from basically the same body, the '53 looks so clunky compared to the svelte '54.  Nice comparison John.

I love both years.  The roof line and 2-tone paint application really work well on this car.

SunStar did a nice job with the ‘53.

I have both of these and display them side by side. Like Jada, the Sun Star is a near precision image that can stand up to DM and FM for only a fraction of the cost. Love the pics of course.

I have the FM hardtop in two colors and convertible in two colors. For some reason I never bought the SunStar in 1/24 scale but I do have them in 1/18 scale.
