This Trax model of an Australian 1962 Dodge Phoenix arrived yesterday.  While labeled as a Phoenix,  in the USA it would be a Dart,  one of the last of Virgil Exner's unique designs.   Seems to be a clone of that car excepting the RHD.  It is part of Trax's Select Series of resin models.   Chinese made of course.  When ordering Trax models one has to have a lot of patience as they are announced long before production items are actually available for shipment and it is best to put in an order in advance to reserve yours.

Very cool model. I am glad to see they are still available to buy. I got mine back in June, love the color. And yes, other than the name and right-hand drive, it looks just like an American made Dodge.

Got this model back a few months ago and love it.  It's an excellent model, right hand drive notwithstanding.

Great subject and perfect color for it, very accurate looking to me.

I'll look for one of these.  I guess The Bay is the only place to find it.  Thanks for posting.

@mark-lampariello  And next up for TRAX is 1962 Chevrolet Impala sport sedan,  AKA four door hardtop.  Metallic light green as I recall.  Also to be made as a Belair sedan.
