It seems that in the early days of DM they must have had a mole inside TFM, because as soon as FM released a new image, miraculously DM offered the same almost simultaneously.

With the quality so poor and the model bereft of so many features, it just didn't seem likely that DM would make this a marketing triumph.... although I did buy it. LOL

Thanks Rich, FMs appears so much better. I could never understand why the mints produced models of the same car when collectors were crying out for other releases. This is a perfect example. Was there really that big a market for 2 Stutz Blackhawks? Or 2 of the same colour Chryslers T & C etc etc etc?

Technically speaking, they are different year models, the FM model is 1928 and DM represents the 1927 model, they have minimal differences.

Because I like cars from the 20s, and not many are available, I bought both. On top of that I even have the car in 1/43 scale as well.
