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.

'66 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT by 43rd Avenue ..

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.

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.

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 ?
