Pic-Nice acquisition David. I like this two tone painted.
I'm surprised Rick is parting ways with this beauty. Here is a photo he sent me of the Chevrolet I think in 2009.

Thanks for the additional pictures.

It isn't easy to part with some of these models, Michel, but I am determined to reduce the size of my collection as life continues on, and will continue to do so a little at a time provided I can find good homes for the models.
I knew from his posts and conversations that David is a big fan of the Yeoman, and it was only logical that he assume ownership of this one.

I agree with you down the line, Rick. The Yeoman is in good hands.
But surely there are some models that you will always keep?

I’m just glad I passed the background check qualifying me to be the new owner of this car.

Absolutely, Michel. A number of them are replicas of 1:1 cars I've owned, built by John Roberts, and several more are special models that are the only ones in existence. They include a '56 Pontiac two-door hardtop, a replica of the first car I ever bought, which JR made from the BRK four-door sedan, and the two Pontiac Safari wagons in white metal from '56 and '58 that John built out of donor models.
There are perhaps 10 or 12 more that I won't sell unless I need the money to keep food on the table. Hopefully it won't come to that!
