PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast...Wednesday

Not what I had planned for today, but John's TPC made me think of mine, the convertible is a beauty. A nicely outrageous example from the 50s.

Nice model / outstanding pics. Always liked the convertible better than the hardtop.

(PIC) I like the car but not the cont. kit. I have the 1:18 with the kit removed.

I didn't do the modification. Got this on the "other" auction site.
