Wow. Bidding war? It was a follow up to the two-tone gray coupe issued by DM 6 years prior. Not a limited edition but apparently no where near as many were released as the initial model. The blue, in person, is so much better looking than in these pics and most people who do own it, don't sell it! SO it is relatively rare when it comes up for sale and when it does, it goes for the BIG bucks.   Formal Smile

I have both colors in this sedanette along with all the convertibles and station wagon. Some of DMs best. While I don't play with my models, the working suspension and double opening hood makes them great conversation pieces.

Bob, like you, I don't play with my models. They are much too delicate to be handled. IMO many of the operating features are a waste. The manufactures could have saved a lot of time and money if the features were omitted.

@sizedoesmatter I agree, I'm extremely happy with my curbside models. And I got them at way better pricing. Plus a couple are now pretty scarce, like these 2 Hachette models.💯😊
