Lovely model, and what a beautiful car for its time.  Can you imagine cruising Beverly Hills in 1937 in this car?  Wow!

Thanks Pete. I'd love to cruise Beverly Hills in that car today! Bet it would turn a lot of heads! Cool

Beautiful car; I wonder if Virgil Exner was looking at that windshield when he designed the 1955 Mopars?

Thanks Bob! Is it made by Altaya IXO or another?

That's one of those cars that, in black, is difficult to fully appreciate the gorgeous styling lines of the body. LOVE the interior color though!
