Pulling the Brochure from the envelope and seeing the "Hot and New" (repaint) of FRANKLIN MINT'S '51 HUDSON was enough to get my heart pumping faster. And then turning the pages of the Brochure and seeing SEVEN more FABULOUS FIFTIES cars, I was nearing full cardiac arrest. FRANKLIN MINT gave us many fine replica's, and here are just a small sampling of some of their fleet.
I think the Yellow/Black color scheme on the '55 Crown Victoria is the best of all the Crown Victoria's produced by all of the mints. It simply pops right off the page of the Brochure and does so on my shelf as well. Oh and that HUDSON, a repaint yes, but one so beautifully done. The '50 Chevrolet is a repaint too, but one I'm delighted I have. In fact, all these Franklin Mint cars are repaints, but certainly A MODEL FOR EVERY TASTE!
HOW MANY OF THESE FABULOUS FRANKLIN MINT FIFTIES ARE IN YOUR COLLECTION?

George, I felt the same way every time a new Danbury or Franklin book arrived. Out of this brochure, I must admit, I have all of them. Thanks for sharing.
