This is an awesome model... [PIC]

For me, the star of this show is the whole tailgate operation that's done with mechanical precision.

Yes. The license plate/tail lights that pivot when the tail gate opens is fantastic.

I first saw this model live and fell in love with it at Bob Kaempf house back at least 16-17 years ago.  I finally added one about a year ago!  I also have the Surfer. Version which is spectacular and was given to me as a Christmas Gift about 8 years ago.  Great models and memories.  I miss seeing Bobs collection.  He’s a great guy and was a superb diecast seller.  Ah the good ole days!!!!

Nice to see u post Phil. Bob was a great seller, always sold globally, always listed at or below fair market price which let bidders genuinely compete, safe protective packaging and accurate postage costs. I can only echo "Ah the good ole days"!

I agree with others here that this Woody Mercury is a star.  It's in my collection and I love it.  And I also agree with everyone that the DM '49 Mercury's are great!  

SUPER photos John and yours too Rich!
