This was a '58 now it's a '59. Plan on a few more changes. Might put on a red top
with the sunroof and new body color once door swap is completed.

I love mine as it is. Doesn't mean I'd equally love to see your updates Hollis

Okay, just a curious question. When these models are cosmetically changed from their original state, doesn't that affect the probable value of the model? I'd think it would be in a negative way. But what do others say?

@georgeschire Guess it depends on what a person is looking for. Have made some pretty good money on some of my cars and trucks. Some people are looking for something different since the mints quite making the diecast. I like turning a convertible into a coupe and a coupe into a convertible for an example. Guess some people liked them to because they bought them. They have liked my customs that I have built also. Specially some repaints I had done. Guess my top sale was $300 they got into a bidding war.

Thanks for the explanation. I think you said it best with your statement, "Guess it depends on what a person is looking for". My guess would be that it does make the market a little smaller though for some of the cars. But yes, if there is that one person who wants something different and "your car" satisfies that "different", you both win! Thanks again.

***To All on the D4C sorry guys this won't be happening. Last night I made a big decision. I will be selling my collection. Going to be 85 in December and I'm not what I used to be. So, I think it's time I sort of retire from working on my diecast.....HollisLooking great - can't wait for the finished product!
