Nice trio!  GM had a very much changed lineup for 1959 that made quite a styling statement.  Do you have an Olds to add Geno?

Too bad that the mints didn't do a 1959 model of the Olds or Buick but there are plenty in 1/43 scale.

Since my young 8 year old eyes gazed on the '59 GM line-up, I was always in awe of how different they were from both their Big Three rivals.  When I got my drivers license in 1967, my first car was a '59 Chevy Impala 2-door hardtop.  I remember feeling like Batman while driving it with those "Bat-Wing" tailfins.  I'd always hoped that Danbury or Franklin would have given us both an Oldsmobile and Buick in 1:24 scale, but alas that hope ran out.
