A model from my collection that you rarely see (pic) ...
I bought it about 10 years ago and I have never seen another like it. Many of my cars have history.

Good one! And you're right about uncommon; it's a first for me. I think 43rd Ave. was connected to Milestone Miniatures. Beautiful models from a while back.
I like that one too. I have the same model and a blue one as well.
Blue???
Hmmm....speaking of 43rd Ave rarely seen models...

Very nice chrome work on that wagon !
And here's another Milestone Miniatures, '59 Dodge
I like that they did the rarer four door hardtop. On this one I added the blue below the molding as per the factory paint scheme for that year.

Frank, I also have a pale yellow hard top version of that Mercury !
Are either of the other 2 models Pace Cars Randy?
No they are and were not Pace Car models. I forgot I even had the hard top. I will try........
and get pictures of all 3 models posted this weekend. I have not used my camera in a couple years now, not sure it even works. Minimum will need to charge the batteries. Do you have any of the Torino models ?
Umm.....you mean models that just won't go away?
Torino models YES, but 43rd Ave. NO.
Ha ha! I know you're just kidding. Everyone loves this color combo! No?
