Best '70s rear ever!
Lol, I saw quite a few 'goodlooking rears' during the '70s Disco Years.

I have these and enjoy them. There are issues like the Riv tires being too large and some of the wipers are too coarse, but IMHO they are great value for money spent.

John, thanks for the video. With all the models you have been showing, your own collection must be increasing nicely.

@ed-davis, Thanks. I love 'em all, but Kelly says I have to sell them...most of them!

If you do choose to sell some, how would you do it (Ebay, Countryside shows, someone who buys collections, etc.)?

These look really excellent and they are great 1/43 representatives of those years. Very nice selection !

John - I agree with Kelly. I try to tell myself - "You can't own everything" - but it is a battle.

@ed-davis, probably a combination of all those options other than selling them as a collection.

And unfortunately we sometimes we have to capitulate :/

I did not know there was a badge engineered Malibu for Pontiac. interesting. I do recall badge engineered Novas as Pontiac Venturas however, but not seen any models of these.

I believe the Beaumonts were made and sold primarily in Canada.
