The Conquest 1955 Desoto Fireflite is wonderful in this two tone blue, Dillon.
Is it a special limited edition of six? Mine is Canary Yellow and Black and limited at only 6.

Merci, Michel.

A minority opinion...
if the question is: "Is a $250. handbuilt worth 5 times the $50. price of some of the better Franklin Mint 1:43s like the Hudson?"...my answer is "Overall, no".

Is a $10,000 "worth" more than a $10 Timex? It all depends upon one's perspective, I guess.

Dillon and John,I noticed that both of your Conquest 55
Desotos are missing the vent windows. I too have this model and when I received it made Buz aware of it and he sent me a set which I installed.

I too have the vent windows. I just hadn't attached them when I photographed the car.

Mine are in an envelope in the original box. Buz did a great job with this one.
The model was a hit right from the box and almost no one noticed the vent windows were left off. Once he caught the error, Buz notified all the owners and sent them out as soon as he got them in.
