Not the best pic I've seen...

...these cars, the '41-'47 Darrin designed Clippers were really gorgeous. I think the angle of the shot as well as the two tone combo don't play well here. I prefer the skirts, they add to the streamlined effect quite nicely, and are removable for those who prefer that. I think the '42 Senior (Custom Super 180), maybe even the two door fastback, would be outrageous in 1:24th...make mine either Packard (Navy) blue, or deep burgundy!

Hey, Robert, don't blame me.........

I'm not the photographer here! Grin I, also, prefer the skirts on both the four door and the Custom Clipper Club Sedan posted that I posted above. Wicked sleek and besides, it would add another cool removable feature on the 1/24!

Although I have vowed to cut back on die cast purchases in the coming year,

I would stretch for almost all of the cars pictured in this thread. Gorgeous!

In my case, ability takes precedence over desire.

Frank, You Are Where I Was On the Eve of 2009...

I resolved to limit myself to one new car a month. Twenty cars later I find myself wondering what happened. Hope you're better at belt-tightening than I am! Good luck.

oh, Gene, I wouldn't blame you!

You seem like a kindred spirit! I know you didn't take that snappy...I was just commenting on the appearance of that particular car, which isn't too flattering.

The '41-'47 Clippers were really gorgeous and typify that grand Forties style.
