I love getting the mail!  I love Muscle Cars!  I love Oldsmobile's! 

So when this Brochure from FRANKLIN MINT arrived in my mailbox it was a GRAND SLAM DAY! 

Of all the Muscle Cars offered from the Big Three in the late Sixties/early Seventies, many were favorites of mine, but none were more a favorite than an OLDSMOBILE.  As it says on the Brochure "The Last of the Oldsmobile Muscle Cars Roars Once Again"!  And only my Roar was louder when I saw this Oldsmobile on the cover!  This 1:24 scale replica from FRANKLIN MINT is even better than the photos in the Brochure.  THEY GOT IT RIGHT! 

1970 OLDSMOBILE 4-4-2

The replica as FRANKLIN MINT boasted in their marketing, was SIMPLY MILES AHEAD! 

FM 70 OLDSMOBILE 442 (Gold) #1
FM 70 OLDSMBOBILE 442 (Gold) #2
FM 70 OLDSMOBILE 442 (Gold) #3
FM 70 OLDSMOBILE 442 (Gold) #4

Also a very nice model. I passed on this one at the time, I wish I hadn't of. Since I had the DM version, I didn't think I needed two the same color. Oh well.

I did get the FM '70 Olds in black, been trying to find a red one for a good price. Maybe someday I'll find both the gold & red.

Hope you are able to eventually find a Red one John, it's a nice car.  I remember how nice it was working with Michelle Peters when I ordered both the Black and Red versions.  I learned through that initial transaction with her that she was a special person who understood us collectors and she knew how to deliver great customer service.
