Well, I finally ordered the maroon FM '57 Cadi LE.
I've never struggled so much over a diecast purchase ever
before. I already have the black one and I'm virtually out of
display space but this one just looks so good to me in that
color.
It's on sale right now on the FM website so that just pushed
me over the edge. I sure hope it'll prove to be worth all the
"should I or shouldn't I" that I went through over this one.
I'm sure it will be once I open the box

Big thanks to Bob Arthur on this one for the $25 "TY" discount code..
Bob posted an item on the BB back in July about this. Not
only was the Cadillac on sale from $155 to $126.99, I then
used Bob's promotional code "TY" which not only knocked $25
off the price, the shipping then went down from $10.95 to
$7.95 and the tax also went down by $2.42 so that "TY" code
saved me over $30 ! The total price with tax and shipping was
just under $120. That was enough to get me to pull the
trigger !

Thanks Barry....and Bob
I was debating whether or not to order the '67 Camaro Z-28 @ 50% off, but after adding that code it got it down to $49.99 + shipping...just under $58 total

I am sure you will be pleased.
I don't have the original black one but I do have the blue one.

Glad for you................
for me at least....a perfect black one is the king color combo.

Barry, I'm happy that you were able to use the discount. Couldn't see just throwing it away. 🙂
