I know what you mean Randy, but sometimes TFM pulled out all the stops and this is one of them!
Like the ?39 Ford, VW new beetle, 1940 Duesenberg (especially for the time), Confederate Chevy roadster, etc. these are just a few examples of MUST HAVES imo

Wait wait ..... I DO in fact have it! LOL
I generally have a great memory and know 95% of what models I have and the year, color etc but once in a while I get a blank spot!! I just checked the D4C Auction archives and I was able to pull up every model Ive purchased here. I bought the BMW about 5 years ago and I later picked it up in person (like 2-3 months after I bought it) AND it went into the pile of boxes as I havent gotten the display area or basement reno worked on as yet. I made a recent promise to myself. If they don't get display by this winter they mostly will be SOLD! I'm no longer going to have beautiful and valuable models sitting in boxes. If I do sell them I'll buy a late model car, most likely the "New" Continental Lincoln.

I looked back at my original review in (gulp) 2001. Then, I gave this one 3 1/2 stars due mainly to the shiny red and tan interior. While I still stand by my dislike for the interior color combo, it's probably better than 4 stars for the overall effort by TFM. In 1/24th, they squeezed out about as much as they could in detail, fit and finish.
A beautiful diecast and T's pics in this post are striking in their clarity.
The car still sits proudly front and center in my one display of red 2-seat sports cars. Really gotta love those Beemers!

Yes!!!! The FM 55 Packards are superbly done! The ‘34s are no slouches either!
The Packard Victoria is a charmer too! I love the little wool blanket in the rear compartment.
