Great selection but I would have liked to see that Packard produced. Gorgeous!

I reckon over time I have added, or at least tried to add all of them. Packard and Imperial on announcement and the others gradually. O what might have been!

What absolutely beautiful cars ...... all of them, both in scale and in real life. My family's neighbor at the time had a 1958 Pontiac and I still have it in at least one picture taken at the time.

Love them all, but the '59 Bonneville is my favorite.  Tony, do you know what happened to these prototypes?

Yes Pete. DM's last Automotive Diecast Design Manager was Rick Hanmore. He owns them all. (Plus others) Over the years we became close & dear friends and he visits my wife and me at our home very often. On one of his visits he brought these and I photographed them.

Very nice photos Tony of what could have been. I really like the lines on the Imperial in baby blue paint and you can't forget about the toilet seat mounted on the trunk, always a nice touch.

@perrone1 what a fabulous collection Rick must have Tony. I reckon I'd needed to be sedated after viewing it!

Not so much sedated as 'self-medicated'.
