Superb images, Tony ! These are real stunners and classic Buick Rivieras make for excellent subject matter.

I have the blue one and think it's great. Never saw the need to pay extra for some colors on any of Automodello models. JMO.

I have the blue version. If they weren't so expensive I'd buy every color. They are just that nice.

Beautiful photos of a nice model. I have the blue version. I probably should have gotten the green one.

I've got the blue version also and I agree with Bob J. on the color issue.

I have both the blue one and green. To be honest the blue is the least expensive and IMO Is THE BEST looking of all the colors offered. It just looks perfect in that shade/combo! Nice pics T.

Tony, great shots of a great car. Just wish that DM or FM made it with working features. I do not care for static images especially at what they were asking for it.

AB-solutely right John! DM or FM with moving parts and detailed features and in a couple different year models would have been fantastic.

These examples look really nice. Its interesting how the timing of the 63 & 65 Riviera is currently a very popular subject for several model companies; albeit in different scales.

Jack I agree with you about the interest in early Riviera models. I have one by MiniMarque which I have had for many years. Brooklin has two in the pipeline which are scheduled in the not too distant future and Goldvarg as well.

Been wanting to post this since the image loading problem. So glad its back. I'm about 3-4 weeks away from fully setting up my car room so hopefully will have a heap of pics to share. Meanwhile I've been setting up some of my "high end" 1/24 and 1/43 models as what I call decorator items, meaning they're positioned within and on bookcases and display cases around the house. Heres the Buick in a bookcase. I've had a number of covers made to protect the Automodellos as I prefer to keep them on their stands.
Yey! Pics are back!
