NEW PHOTOS WEEK continues

This is the 2nd of these models that joined my collection. The 1st was bought at auction and had a few issues. It looked decent from a distance, but had a few visible flaws. I came across this one in late 2019 at a flea market. No box, but it was well cared for and cost me $11.

The T&C convertibles were done by both FM and DM. Normally the duplication of efforts would have bothered me but in this case both did a remarkable job with this iconic automobile.

Great shots of a great model John!  

I liked the T & C's from both Mints a lot.  The only thing with both Mints doing the same car that bothered me was that with so many cars that each of them could have done, and so many that never were produced, why would they choose to do the same car?  Not complaining though, as I said, both were great.
