A public statement of thanks to Steve Overy of Illustra (pic)
Somehow, somewhere, the Cormorant had flown away. King Richard III's crown was found under a gorse bush, but not that of my Harrah's 1934 Packard; I looked everywhere! But Steve Overy rose from St. Leonards-on-Sea in answer to my plea.
Illustra to the rescue, and once again the proud Packard reigns in all its glory. Thank you, Steve. May Midlantic Models / Mini Marque bring you an even brighter future.

Hood Ornament Lost...Hood Ornament Found...Another Happy Ending!!!
Always pleasing to see the "GREAT" manufacturers in our hobby come to the rescue when a part is needed for one of our prize pieces! There is STILL kindness in the world, gentlemen/ladies!

I'll second that...
Steve was gracious enough to send me virtually all of the separate trim pieces, wheels, and tires for a TFC 1980s Cadillac Seville I picked up at the Charlotte Auto Fair a few years ago. It looked like it had been stripped by thieves just like a real car! Thanks to Steve it is now a worthy companion to the other MM43 Illustra Sevilles I have since acquired.
