Here is a Clarke-esk kinda question. What was the very first 1/24th FM / DM you ever bought
Mine was the blue 68/69 FM Corvette.
FM '13 Stutz Bearcat... Of Course
I ordered a DM '53 Buick Skylark and the two FM '34 Packards but I don't know which one came out of the box first.
USAF 1958-62
FM Petty Superbird. Followed by DM Blue '69 Camaro convert.
The FM 1933 Duesenberg "Twenty Grand"
FM=35 Mercedes Benz 500k / DM=35 Duesenburg SSJ
FM Black 1940 Ford Pick up
FM 1955 Bel Air Sport Coupe, blue & white
I saw the 68 vette in the saturday magazine years back before I bought it.
I sold it a couple of years ago. I didn't like it anymore since all the DM models I had, contained so many more details. At the time, I loved it and thought I would never get rid of it.
1924 Bugatti Type 35
1949 Black Mercury Club Coupe......I'm guessing I purchased it in 1993???
John Bono
North Jersey
Ferrari Testa Rosa then the Tulip Wood Hispano
Ferrari Testa Rosa then the Tulip Wood Hispano
By then I was Hopelessly Hooked by both FM & DM. The rest is History.
These are the ones I've owned longest..'58 Impala conv.
in turquoise, and, the'55 Ford blk/white transparent top..don't remember which came first..have had the red '62 'Vette for a long time, and, the'53 Texaco tow truck, too...all new from DM.
FM...'57 Chev coupe...red/white..
Have a '62 T-bird in cream for eons, as well!!
1963 FM Red Corvette when they first came out back in the 90's? Wasn't impressed with the cost so never got anymore until early 2000 when I got the bug to start collecting sports cars especially Vettes. I still have that Vette.
