This is a car DM really did well but it is underappreciated. Pics 1958 Packard Hawk. Love it or hate it DM did a superb job on this one. Wish I had the red version too. So, what's your opinion on this one?

I like Mark. All of DM's diecasts were great. Actually, I prefer them over Franklin.

Nothing against DM, as they did the car awesomely as they did all their cars. But this car just looks too toy like for my taste. And I say that for the real 1.1 version as well. The car looks like a FROG.

I passed on it, and have never been sorry.

I agree

Although I never actually saw either one of them, except for pics, I think the red one looks better. And I wish I had it.

What do I Think? ... I'll tell what I think ....

I wish I had this Blue Stude

I love it !!!

I love all of the DM Stude truth be known

Sadly ... I just can not afford everything

BUT I'm very thankful for what i do have and I enjoy them all ... each and every one

I ... for one - think D/M die cast cars are far better die cast car than F/M

One day ... I'll be able to add the STUDE to my collection

One day

Wish I had the red one too but I like that the blue one is two-tone.

Hated the car but the model was nicely done.

Regret I didn't buy the red one for the resale value.
