I've been trying to get caught up on the DeAgostini subscription series. Here's Box #5 in a Short Take format.

I must have been sleeping when these models were first discussed. How much are they and how does one go about ordering them?

And there is also a GMC Sprint in white out there with "cowl induction", a badge engineered version of the Chevrolet El Camino
One Barracuda became a convertible in my collection.

A fine overview of these DeAgostinis, JK. They really do look wonderful and the colors are quite good ones. There are some extremely nice ones here in Box 5 !

I have these and IMHO they are quite well done and good value.

I need to look for one of those El Caminos / Sprints! Cool car-pickups!

These are very interesting models, and for the $$, very well done all things considered. I am up to Set 12, it just arrived about a week ago. I do have 17 duplicates so far and it looks like I may have a few more before this collection is completed. I plan on selling them at some point as I certainly don't need duplicates of these.

These sure are a bargain. If I knew they would have opened up to the US market I would have waited to buy. I contacted De Agostini a few years ago but they wouldn't sell here.
