I've shared recently that I've been acquiring a few Minimarque models of Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs. For them to fall in my acceptable price range, I've had to be a little less selective (the Auburn with a missing hood ornament, for example - Oh, and thanks to those who helped me find a replacement!).
My most recent acquisition is this 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged. Can you see its imperfection?
It was sold (and the seller clearly identified it) with a broken windscreen. So I did my best with my bad eyes and sausage fingers to reassemble it.
It's not perfect but in a display case from a foot away, it's certainly passable. Here's where it's snapped...
Of course, if anyone knows where I can find a replacement, I'm always looking!

I held mine near the screen and still couldn't spot the defect(s). Of course, mine wasn't a Minimarque. I think you have another winner!
