[Closed] One of my favorite FMs

I think it's one of FM's miscues. Shaped wrong, gaps between doors and hood. The white version is even worse. I loved the '57 Pontiac and was excited when FM came out with the model, but then disappointed that wasn't better than it was.

57 Pontiacs

I have, and like both of the 57 Pontiac Bonneville convertibles, although I can't say they are one of my favorites. One thing I notice between the two is around the grill on the white one it is blacked out which to me appears more correct and is not on the coral issue. Would have definitely liked a hardtop and will be presenting you a Safari Wagon in the near future.

It is a nice model. Although I prefer the white version. Neither are perfect, but the fact that we got a '57 Bonneville in 1:24. Wonderful!

+1. I'm also grateful to have 'both' versions. But, John M. + George are right...

...they could've been better 1:24s.
They are beautiful 1:1s.

And don’t forget it wasn’t offered in Coral either! BUT I feel it looks good in this color and...

Have better things to do then research if a color were correct or not! LOL

I guess I'm not that picky. I like it.

I don't think it is a matter of being picky. It's expecting quality replication from a company that showed us they could do it with many cars. But then on certain cars, they just didn't do their homework and it showed with a less then perfect car.

I've always loved the 1.1 '57 Pontiac. It's styling was new and refreshing and having a 1:24 scale replica is great. Just wish they'd paid a little more attention to detail and got it right.

This said, I have both color versions and glad I do!

Maybe I should have said "discerning" rather than "picky"?

LOL, yea "discerning" is a better choice of words.

FM should have done a hardtop instead of a second color. A Safari would have been nice too.

I have both & luv 'em.

I have both Tinderbox Pontiac FM repaints. The blue ‘55 is nice too.
