Is that a rerelease or did you pick it up on the secondary market?
I thought that guy was sold out years ago. At the time I had to make a choice between the taxi and the older '53 Monte Carlo entry. By the time my budget allowed it, the taxi was sold out.

Don't know if it's a rerelease or just stock they found in a kangaroo's pouch, but I got it direct..
...brand new from Trax. They're having a monster "Yuletide Special" sale. I picked it up for US$83.00 including shipping from Oz!
It was a toss up whether I should get this one or the racer you have.

Congratulations on your new model Gene. It's a beauty.
I love the Holden models from Trax. I have this one and several more. They are so darn cute.

Thanx so much, John. It's my first diecast purchase in a couple of years, although I have gotten...
...a couple as gifts and won two more in an online photo contest. It's also my first 1/24th scale Trax model.

Thanx, David. It's the closest think that I know of out there to a 1/24th scale 1940's U.S. taxi.
