PICS - Except it's already being done as we speak by Minichamps. Automodello doesn't like...

... to do models that have already been done in another major scale.

Oops! I forget to post the scale. They're doing 1:18 for sure. I couldn't speak for 1:43.

This is one exception to my rule of not buying 1/18. I'll be getting this one.

(PIC) Several years back I had a discussion with Danbury about producing the GM Motorama cars beyond the Corvette EX122, and was told that they didn't think there was a demand for them, and, the molds would be single use, and therefore, cost prohibitive.

I am glad that Minichamps is doing several, including the Joe Boetz collection. I intend to buy them all as I have wanted the Motorama cars for quite a while.

I picked this one up today from my friend at Diecast Country while I was in Carlisle, Pa. He is selling them for $249.00 ea. which is cheaper than anyplace else I have found.

If my memory serves me correctly, John, that would be a little bottle of "feel good tonic"...Thank you for the sentiment!

John, tonic long gone (LOL) and well needed...

... I mean the 71 Dodge Challenger (by Hot Wheels). And I thank you again, They were a great Chrismas gift.

I'm just glad you're back. Visions of Corvettes smashed up... well... we worry about folks.
