These are the diecast 2nd Gen Thunderbirds I have. Abmittedly, the old Corgi '58s are a tad less than 1:43.

French Dinky made this 1960 convertible, with suspension and a crude form of steering.

Franklin Mint's '58 convertible has their usual bells and whistles, with halfway decent shutlines compared to some of their other models.

I know it's resin (from NEO) but I hope it's OK to contribute this to the thread

@moe-parr, there's always room for resin.

The Square Birds have always been interesting. I have a few both in resin and white metal.
