Phil mentioned the detail in the 59 Pontiac and how a close up of the front end made him realize more and more that it was worth every penny of the admission price. I couldn't agree more.

As I said in that earlier post this is the only one of the three that John posted, that I still have. I only wish we had gotten a hardtop.

Yes sir. Nice lines. She looks right at home in the warm California sun doesn't she, Hmm? Even with the top up.

Well, that's enough for me for one evening. Think I'll go jump in the Poncho and cruise on down the coast. Don't I wish. LOL.
Thanks for looking.

Well Jim...isn't there a chance of 'grafting' on a hrdtop from a '59 Chevy?

Great detail shots. I think the '58 and '59 DM Pontiacs are fantastic.

We went through that with Rick Hanmore.
aka Rick MoeLou According to Rick, the 59 Caddy hardtop would be the better candidate although it would take someone with more skills than I have when it comes to building models, that's for sure. Not to mention the cost of the donor cars.
YIKES!

I don't get that. The Chevy and Pontiac had the same roof. The Cadillac has a longer roof as does the Buick and senior Olds.
