Test Sunday! Here we have a 1997 Corvette from Franklin Mint. The red version was more popular based on customer feedback, so it was mass-produced. I don’t know how many black ones were made; it is somewhat rare but not scarce. Enjoy!

Four-Door Thursday! Here we have a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado from Franklin Mint. The aluminum roof is fantastic; however, the paint on the doors can come off easily. Instead of reprinting mine, it is wrapped in black foil. Enjoy!

Looking good Lu. My Eldo doors are fixed with electrical tape. I wish the Mints produced more 4-door sedans.

Modern Four-Door Friday! Today we have a Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor from Classic Metal Works. This little gem is dressed in Utah Highway Patrol’s 2002 Winter Olympic uniform. A model builder added the antennas, radio, roof light, and spotlight. Enjoy!

Sleek Hatch Saturday! Here we have a 1970 Datsun 240Z from Franklin Mint. This is an FPA sample. Compared with the production version, there are quite a few differences. For example, it is a couple of shades lighter, no front tow rings, no tire tread, no backstamp, etc. Enjoy!

excellent Lu. I have the white and brown Ebbro versions, and an M2 blue. Never seen the yellow version before. Is it another color sample, looks great in yellow.
