I had not expected to get the '71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, but I went ahead and added it to my order. It's really well done and deserves a closer look. In the third pic below, note how well the twin white stripes across the rear fenders and top was applied. Also, remember hidden wipers? they were snuggled just under the rear of the hood on some 1970s cars. If you look closely at the third pic, you can see how the wipers appear slightly below the rear of the hood, a detail that could have been easily disregarded on a subscription-type diecast.

Finally, a couple of color variations. The '70 Cougar and the '70 Road Runner were issued in yellow after the orange versions appeared. I believe these are Japanese market editions based on some printed labels on the outer plastic wrap on these.

You have been busy Harv. You have a nice cross section of automobile Americana here. Interesting observation about the hidden wipers and manufacturer attention to detail.

I have most of these as well (except the more modern years) and have generally been very pleased with the IXO product.  I was particularly pleased to see the AMC cars; both of which were well done and a good value.
