These were all purchased in the last couple of months.

The Conquests and WMCE's are from Buz at Route 66, and the Westerns I bought from an Ebayer.

Some of them are sans mirrors and hood ornaments because I don't attach them...I keep them in their original boxes.

These models are Fantastic!

Yes Bob! and my bank account is working overtime! lol

The Route 66 models are fantastic and in my opinion are on par with Motor City models.

Is the two Western Models has been detailed? I would like a new batch of the WMCE 1941 Oldsmobile. All are beautiful models.

The two Western models are very detailed, but I think they were detailed when they were produced.

I received the last WMCE Buick convertible that Buz had.

The Western model 1941 Oldsmobile than you have looks like the WMCE althought that i never saw the WMCE and i can't compare. I saw others western models 1941 oldsmobile who were less detailed. I like this Oldsmobile.

This Oldsmobile is a little gem.... I had to have it when I found it on Ebay.....I tried talking the seller down, but he knew what he had and wasn't budging from his $300 BIN price and $40 shipping from Germany. He also sold me the Western green '41 Buick fastback, but I payed a little less for that one....both prices were fair for 2 fantastic models.

The Oldsmobile has a WM stamped into the bottom, so I know it is a Western. The paint has metallic flake in it.....I am not sure if you can see that in the pics I posted.

All nice models, Ben. The '55 Buick is terrific in that unusual three-toned combination. Considering it is one of the earlier Conquests it is a great casting. I also appreciate the mesh grille which is so fine.

It is indeed a jewel but looked for comparison another WM that I found. While the red model is gorgeous too, yours is even more so. All the models that you bought are great additions.

If more '41 Oldsmobiles are planned I go for either, or both, of these, the convertible sedan or the 4 window sedan.  Sergio Goldvarg?

I am certain that Sergio could bring us outstanding resin versions of these Oldsmobiles, and Buz retains the original masters from Western... Imagine these in WMCE style with all the trimmings?

@ben-lampson  WMCE items would be exquisite I'm sure but being terminally frugal the price I imagine would put me off.
