@chris Yes, those are condos with two car garages. 

If I see the owner again, I'll let him know how fortunate he is to have the unbroken horn ring (I'm sure he's unaware of its significance).  This gentleman had owned the vehicle for just 3 days, had brought it over to show his friend, and the radiator burst upon arrival.  So, it left on a flatbed!  But the new owner was not at all discouraged; evidently he owns a few other classic cars and was familiar with these kinds of things happening!

@chris Ok, Chris, how the heck do you see that level of detail?

@skip Nice gesture Skip! I guess you might be in the market for a replacement if Stamp makes one?

@mg-harv For now, I've got the Stamp '59 CDV in gotham gold/white.  As has been stated on the Forum before, a beautiful model to have on the shelf!

"Ok, Chris, how the heck do you see that level of detail?"

LSS Mark:

- As noted, it's my favorite car.

- I owned a CDV for many years.

- If you look closely at Skip's pic, you'll notice the chrome circle-top of the horn-ring - because the wheels are straight, I know that's the top of the ring.   Had that been a broken horn-ring (as more than 70% are ) that top piece wouldn't be there; therefore, I wouldn't have seen it.

- 😏 😏

Beautiful Spark model Harv.  Ironically, last Sunday my neighbor across the street had a friend come over driving this '59 Cadillac:

-- attachment is not available --

 I showed the guy my Spark model - virtually identical to his 1:1 - and he fell in love with the model.  I couldn't resist --- I gave it to him!

An honest-to-goodness car lover...good going Skip!!
