Here is yet another super nice 1st Gear model. I had pics comparing this with the DM '55 Nomad, but must have deleted them. It scales out pretty much dead on with the DM model. Thanks for looking guys. 🙂

Another great model by FG.  I have all the Carquest models that the did before they stopped.  I was lucky enough to get to know a manager of a Carquest store in Greer, SC and he would order them for me and just give me a call to pick them up.

@carsman1958 same here John, except my friend was a distributor for Napa, I was able to pick up most of those. Some 1st Gear,  some Crown Premiums. This one I picked up at a toy show for a 20 dollar bill.🙂

These are really nice models - inexpensive but certainly NOT cheap replicas! It's nice to have alternatives to the mints - especially now that they have retreated and surrendered! HA!

I have several First Gear models from the various companies they built models for. Excellent models all.

Looks great. The '55 is my fav. of the tri-five Chevrolets.
