@perrone1 Agreed.  The 2-tone application really accentuates that huge rear deck/trunk area.

You are spot on Bob. Way more than our Club Car did:

I agree it's one of FMs best models.  I have the green and two tone blue versions.

I have the green version, the two-tone blue version, and also this gorgeous cream/root beer (that's what I call it) version.  In my opinion, all three from Franklin Mint are among their finest models, and for sure among my personal favorites on my shelf.

I just have one question.  How can a model look so real, and NOT be real?  This Hudson and in John's great photo setting is amazingly real looking.  And even more incredible is when I look and hold the model in my hand, I wonder if the real car was just shrunk.  Truly one of FM's BEST!
