Another box filled with dreamboats ! That Stutz Blackhawk may be an outlier, but what a fascinating and cool one it is.

Terrific! I even played along on the drums to that track. HA! 😎 😎
Elvis was a Stutz Blackhawk fan (he was photographed driving one on the day of his death ) and it's well known he gave away many vehicles. However, giving away Blackhawks to "common folks" wasn't practical. Elvis, instead, gifted a few black/red mid-'70's Pontiac Grand Prixs (which do look similar ).
This 1/43 convertible is sharp! Gotta love those windows!

Interesting collection of cars. Though I have not purchased any of these American Car Series sets, it is sure nice to see these 1970’s and later models in 1/43 scale.

It's a pity they're not available as individual purchases as there are one or two I would have liked to have had from the '70s.

@charles-rockett, you may be able to find them over there, Charles. Check eBay.

Another model shop - also in Barcelona - called "La Boutique del Hobby" has a lot of them available singly at good prices. I've bought from them without any problem.

@graeme-ogg I've dealt with him also, the only issue is the higher postage. BCN Stock Cars starts at 15 Euros per model and 3 Euros for each additional model to the USA. The models are one Euro less at his store than his sales on EBay. But as I mentioned it's hit and miss and he won't hold an item to combine it with other items later. He ships through the Netherlands, La Boutique ships with Correos. Thanks for the link, I didn't know he has a store

Charles is in Europe so shipping wouldn't be a problem for him, but for folks in the US, yes, shipping is always a consideration, but the basic model price from these guys is good so that even with shipping you can maybe offset the much higher basic model prices on eBay (especially for models that were issued some time ago and most of them have got into the hands of eBay sellers who can ask silly prices.)
