This is quite an early DM release so old tech reigns here. But at the time, it was quite a surprisingly well done model offering a very detailed dash and the badging was done in castings rather than tampos.

Rich;

A wonderful early DM model. I own the two-tone green version and the monotone turquoise model.  

Know the Super88 was the hot one, but I wish the model was of the 98. That extended deck just made a much better proportioned car (in my opinion). The 88 looks stuby.
