SERIOUSLY?  Is there anyone who loves classic cars that doesn't like this one?  I got the model immediately upon its release from DANBURY MINT!  I was convinced that if I didn't have it on my shelf, my life wouldn't be complete.  I had just finished my junior year of high school when this incredible car from Chrysler Corporation was unleased on the public, and at the time, I would have given just about anything to own one.  Muscle cars were the rage!  This Brochure arrived telling me of it's production retirement date, I took a sigh of relief knowing that I had it wouldn't miss out.

I have and LOVE this one George!  Something about the color combination that makes this a stand out.  It’s one of my favorite muscle car models.

I agree.  The color is perfect for this car.  Glad to see you check in Phil.  You've been a stranger.

Perhaps my favorite DM Dodge. In 1:1, an abundance of Super Bee's in Copper Metallic, were accented with a black strip and optioned with a black vinyl roof. I was so happy to see DM's scale version with the white stripe and body color roof. Absolutely stunning!

The model is beautifully executed but when I first saw the 1:1, I thought it looked ridiculous... a Coronet with a bunch of phony scoops tacked on... a quicky no cost "me too" competing with the GTX and Road Runner.
