The Franklin Mint 1929 Bentley Blower 4.3L has been on my 'hot' list for some time. I have seen several for sale, but the more I knew about the model the pickier I became, as most of them had at least two factors going against them, including windshield damage as one of the big ones. This one came without the original packaging, or paperwork, and the paper ID tag was also missing - though I could care less about that, since I always cut them off and put them in a folder, together. This one had excellent listing photos and the seller had 100% FB, so I took a risk and it paid off. It arrived well-packed and in a day or so I will 'NOVUS' it - gently - and put it back on the shelf.

Everyone's favorite for about a zillion years. Not sure who your model-auto-financial-advisor is but you got a good 'un!
Lots of detail, accurate to the 1:1 and put together with precision. Congrats G, You're The Man!
Superb photos by the way!

It’s a pleasure to meet another Novis aficionado.
