Top Hat Sunday! Here we have an FM Mercedes Benz 450 SL sample. Other than the color difference, this one has a hard top. Enjoy!

Stately Monday! Today we have a 1938 Rolls Royce Phantom III from Danbury Mint. This is a low-tech oldie, but it is very well-made. Highly recommended.

Sample Tuesday! Here we have a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 color sample from Franklin Mint. Enjoy!
I need some input from the group - Are you interested in seeing all 1/24 cars in the collection? Many are ordinary FM/DM cars. I want to show them because they are all beautiful; however, I also don’t want to take up everyone’s time and public resources if there is no interest. Thanks!

Lu I'm more than happy for you to continue to post. I love seeing others collections. To this point you introducing us to such unique models and remarkable one offs has been a true highlight and I'd even say also an extraordinary and an appreciated contribution to the 1/24 model collecting hobby. And with 105300 views the numbers speak for themselves. Thanks Lu.

What Tony said! Really enjoy seeing seeing them, most I've only seen in the catalogs from the mints.

Yes Lu, please continue! I enjoy seeing your color samples and other models that I didn't even know existed.

got it, nice. Up to the early 2000s at least, one in this color was used as a daily driver in the northern Melbourne suburbs. I added the red convertible recently. The Tinderbox color is really nice.

Here’s a beauty that I recently got
this is a 1932 Cadillac V-12 Sport Phaeton
the original came out in 1987 but mine is a rerelease from 2003 I actually like the sliver and black it just a nice model overall
