I saw a mention of someone looking for a scaled Oldsmobile and remembered (finally) this one.

The third picture has all the information that I have.  If I remember correctly (rare for me!), I bought this one on eBay for about $35 a few weeks or months ago.  It's diecast and very nicely done, with some good detailing on the interior.  It's a rather uncommon 1950 model;  the only other '50 I know of (and do not have) is a Madison fastback.  Oh yes, there's an older Tron kit that I would really like to have to build.  Enough of my rambling.  Enjoy the day!

Beautiful ! I have this yellow one too, David, and it's a terrific model at a great price. 1949-50 Oldsmobiles are wonderful cars, iconic "Rocket 88's".

I have these two colors; the models were excellent value for money.

I have this one too, just wish the grille could be removed (I tried). The model begs for a blackwash behind it.
