This is true. The detail is nice but lack of it is not a deal killer for me.

Great model, David. Are you aware that Neo offers the fastback version in black? It's presented as a 1949 model.

Thanks, Brian. I'll try to find it. Brooklin released a '49 Oldsmobile 2-door hardtop coupe a while back. I have never emphasized Oldsmobile in my line-up for some reason.

Dark Horse Models, a Vietnamese company, are available from Fairfield Collectibles.

They show all models at inflated prices and then discounted to reasonable figures but not real bargains. They picture the two Oldsmobile's but show no other models from that company.
Go to: DARK HORSE OLDSMOBILE.

There seems to be no other but they are not rare.

Dark Horse 1950 Oldsmobile Blue

I bought the cream one from the eBay seller. I am also impressed with overall quality of it. He is selling the blue one with the same low price now. I ordered it.

Thanks, Dick. I checked and even their discounted price is nearly twice as much as I paid.

I saw the offer, most likely from the same dealer. I think one is enough for me!
