I had two of the Creative Masters yellow Camaros, but sold 'em...

Hey DIIO, do you still have it? And those hanging chads? LOL

61 PB Lincoln, LE white Mark II, Mercedes Skiff,
Boston whaler and several other models that seem to command a good $$$ 1:12 Cadillac and Mustang, etc

Why TWO of everything? Are you waiting for the waters to rise???? LOL
I don't think die-cast can reproduce, though should a major flood occur I'd like to be on your Ark! LOL hee hee 😉

BUT I also have about 25 Factory Color Samples, both DM and FM and 2 GMPs - most are 1 offs
NOTE: The 2 '57 Chryslers are Franklin Mint - DM came out with those colors.
the 2 '57 Chevey Hardtops are also FM .. never made in those colors. DM did make a black with red interior.

Impressive!
I may have bought some rare cars from you (MB450SL black interior), but not as rare as the ones you listed. Nice collection.

Hey Marlowe, I agree this is probably a really nice model (I don't have it) but...
I do not think it is that ultra rare, or ultra desirable.
At least 5 were sold on ebay last year, and 2 are currently on the market.
In comparison with the other famous MCUSA models (over the last year) 2 black Talbot Lagos LE50 were sold for 2000 each. 2 blue ones for 900 each and 5-6 burgundy ones for 600-700 each.
These are the 4 I constantly run searches for. I don't know about the rest of 1:24 MCUSA.

Nice, thats "true rares" I am impressed as well.

Yes, I agree; there are others more rare. But it's the rarest 1:24 I have in my collection.

I am just jelaous, that's all.

Your 1938 Phantom Corsair is rarer: 374 including the museum edition, vs. 450 for the Cadillac

The absolute rarest model I have.....
The gold, Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe in 1/18.
25 produced in the original gold. Total production was 75... 25 in white as it was in 1990 and 25 the final restoration in black.
