I have the Curly Flame Ford and agree it is so precisely done. That First Gear Dodge is a beauty. Thanks Lu.
Acquired that after many years of searching. Great model.
That gold Aston is really difficult to photograph. Still, I'd like one.
I have the silver one and never knew the gold one existed until now. Thanks for posting lu.
I have the silver bond one and this gold one. I’m 95% sure that’s it’s 24k gold plated and it came with its own display case and wooden base with name plate. It’s definitely a stand alone piece. These have sold in the past for $550/$800+ but I think they’ve come down a bit. Nice model though!
Cobra Saturday! on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, let’s take a look at a sample set from Franklin Mint. The three Cobras are finished in red, white, and blue to represent the flag of the United States of America. FM decorated the red and blue with #98 on the hood and doors. The white car has a personal message on the hood from Mr. Carroll Shelby and his signature on the trunk lid. The set came with a wooden display, a metal carrying case, a booklet, and a large aluminum “Franklin Mint Prototype” sign.
This is a toy car forum, so I don’t want to derive too far; however, let’s all do something kind today to honor the victims and their loved ones.
thats nice. Colour works really well. Sure miss our club cars.
