PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast-Tuesday...

I took a few models outside for a quick diorama setting this past weekend. The weather was perfect with just the right amount of cloudy/sunny sky for some nice shots. Thanks for looking.

1941 Chevrolet Special DeLuxe Coupe, DM

1941 Chevrolet

Excellent pics of one of DM's great models. I have always wondered why the coupe resells for such a large premium over the convertible version.

One reason may be becasue it and the Maroon Convertible are...

...limited editions. The original Cameo Cream drop top was not.

Just a guess - but think maybe since coupes were more abundant and what folks remember seeing

This is one of my top 5 favorite DM cars. It's front row on my shelf. Great pics!

IMHO the coupe is more attractive than the cabriolet ...

and it is beautifully executed, and has the best of the DM magic, and it is significantly rarer than the cabriolets (if you combine the regular and limited cabrio editions together). I am looking for this one myself...

If anyone has the box and styrofoam for this one that they don't want I'll gladly pay the shipping? My email is davidangeloni@earthlink.net

I bought one a few few years ago in perfect condition that didn't have it so I've been searching. I'd be grateful for any help!

The 1941 Chevrolet Coupe is one of DMs finest models.

1941 Chevrolet

The 41 Chevrolet is beautiful, wish the mints would have done other GM products, an Oldsmobile or Pontiac from that era would have been fantastic.
