Initially, I had thought of matching up this 1/24 figure

 

s l1600(1)

 

with the yellow/black Bugatti Bolide,

but she seemed too petite for that model.

 

So, I continued my search and yesterday, I found just the car for her, this 1905 Stutz Bearcat Speedster by Franklin Mint.  It's a bit of retro for a stylish lass.  The first photo is from the auction and was the only one provided.  The other two are for illustrative purposes and I will take photos when it arrives.

Ha! When I first saw Daisy's outfit I thought of a 1/24th DM 54 Caddy:

003
001

I also thought of the FM 04 Mercedes Simplex when I saw the Stutz:

001

But after consideration of a more current ride like DM's 55 T-Bird:

 

001
003

I decided the Stutz would be Jake!!  Cool

@perrone1   She would disappear in the front seat of that Caddy, though I do like it, and she might need a ladder to get into the Simplex (I haven't seen a yellow one of that model, over here).  Now, the T'Bird might be an option, but, again, I have not seen that one over here, yet.

 

Daisy?  You named her Daisy?

@perrone1   ...and Jake, for the Stutz?  You must have a reason for that, right?  Eat

I wouldn't seat Daisy in ANY car. She's too lovely standing there tall, slim and pouty. Standing next to any model, she'll stand out. But IF you could sit her down (Is it one of those figure that bends??) she'd look great in the back seat of this one:

Pose your driver next to the car, ready to......drive Miss Daisy!

@perrone1   She's resin, TP, so she doesn't bend.  She was already pricey and I can only imagine what she would cost with that attribute.

Then she'll simply look stunning standing next to a Stutz! Wink

@gdh She looks pricey which is why she belongs with the 54 Cadillac.

@perrone1   I'm still perplexed by the name you gave this little thing.  Per l'amor di tutti i santi, perché proprio Daisy?

I think of HAL the computer in "2001 - A Space Oddity" singing : "Daisy, Daisy- Give Me Your Answer Do ... I'm half crazy over the love of you !"

LOL! Well it's not for the love of ALL the saints, just one - her! She reminded me of a daisy, delicate yellow petals, long stem and flower-like face. But she's your figure, to name however you feel appropriate. But to me, she'll always and forever be....Daisy Mae. Laugh
