If I was to rank Danbury's cars, I think I'd rank this Buick NUMBER ONE! Of course all their cars were replicated so darn well, but when they did this Buick they set the bar (I think) as high as it could go.
There is no way to say anything bad about this model, and anyone that does, just can't be satisfied.
What's sad is that it wasn't long after this Buick was released, we saw the demise of Danbury's die-cast business. It has to be said that they sure went out on a high note.
Thanks as always John for your awesome photos!

This is one of my favorite 1:24 scale models, period!
If I had to choose 10 , I'd have nine more selections to make 😍
