ACME '57 Olds, is it a 2 door or a 4 door? I called and was told it was a 4 door.
Then ACME called me back and corrected themselves and confirmed it is going to be a 2 door.

When I ordered it yesterday they told me it was a 4 door. But I hope you are right Marlowe, because
I totally prefer a 2-door as it defines the roof-line so much better with the spectacular split rear windows.
I can't wait to receive it!

I thought you only collect 1:24 George
It states this is 1:18

This will be my 16th 1:18 scale die-cast. I had space available on the very top of my display shelves. I only have room for 15 cars, but there was no way I'm passing up this '57 Olds! It is my favorite car of all time, and since it's unlikely that I'll get one in 1:24 scale, getting the 1:18 was a no-brainer.

Its great you have expanded your collection
I would love to add some 1:18 cars but right now I have over 500 1:24 sitting in boxes I have been too sick to finish the man cave. That car looks fantastic wish I had room. Thanks for answering my question

Walter, sorry to hear that you've been sick. You didn't say what it is that is keeping you down, sending prayers your way that you will be able to get back on your feet and get your "Man Cave" in order.

I'm so sorry to hear that Walter. You are added to our weekly devotions at my bible study.
