1947 Rolls Royce Phantom III Labourdette Vutotal Cabriolet. I've seen others, including by Top Marques, but the detail on this one is very nice. It may not show up well, but it's actually a two-tone, with the metallic gray and metallic brown hues quite close to each other.

Krueger Special Roadster on a Duesenberg Model A chassis, constructed in 1934. Online retailers call it light gray - sure looks white to me. There is also a black version.

Each looks extremely well-done and they display beautifully on their base. All are really nice replicas and one can only imagine driving around back in the day in the actual vehicles !

Correct... if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed.   I do like the subtlety of it though.
