When it came to personal luxury cars, I was really tired of having the lines of the cars defined by gaudy chrome. It wasn't until the mid-60s that GM thrilled me again with their "Big Three"... specifically the '66 (2nd gen) Riviera, the '66 Olds Toronado and finally the '67-'68 Eldorado. I was a real fan of the long hood-short deck designs and these three had such beautiful lines that were pure and unadorned. They were, in my mind, elegant but also aggressive in their stance.
A nice model, all-things-considered, I had decided to pass on this one as I don't collect this scale much anymore. At some point, I changed my mind and picked the model up in this color. A few disappointments, but it looks good on the shelf.

Those model years were, and still are to me, absolutely beautiful. My #1 favorite being the Riviera.
