I received my DM 71 Hemi Cuda and some observations
I received the Danbury 71 Cuda. The diecast is beautifully done with the usual attention to detail by DM. However the replica just doesn't seem to have that pop to it. The white paint just does not make it jump out at you. Of all the color options I wish they would have done or will do another color. The white is probably a rare color but it is kind of boring too me. Don't get me wrong, it is a keeper. I just wish it had more eye appeal.

This is a replica of a actual 71 Hemi Cuda convertible. 1 of only 11 made in 1971.

Those were the days of "pre-clearcoat." hee.... hee...... in '71, I don't remember being overly concerned about my muscle car's color.

Received mine today also, Richard. Actually the color works for me, much more so than when I saw first pictures of this model. All other aspects of the model live up to Tony's review, a nicely executed model.

But Rich
This was modeled after a real 1:1 that was produced for an actual customer. Further, if I remember correctly, this was one of only 11 Hemi Cuda Convertibles actually produced. I'm not crazy about white either but. if it's the model of the real thing, what the heck? LOL
