One of those models that always prompts conversation in my collection. Hard to believe how long ago this model came out. As usual excellent pictures from the camera of Mr. T.

I grabbed a MIB copy of this about 3 years ago. Beautiful Diecast of a beautiful car. All of the 1/16 Diecast that Danbury did were well done. I've also got the '53 Caddy and the '55 BelAir.

Even at the odd scale of 1/16, they are nice additions to my collection.

I bought this model way back in 2000, I think, and I still love it....

It cost me a pretty sum to get it to The Netherlands, but it was all worth it.
