Here's a few pictures of a Durham Classic that I bet many collectors have never seen. A 1941 Chev 4 dr sedan.

@ralf That might have been the same Vectis auction where I got this LaSalle in 2018. It was a massive Durham collection, I think there were half a dozen variations just on this pace car.

I always liked  the Durham models and collected them regularly along with the early Brooklins. I just took a rough count and found 31. The last purchases I made with them was some 7-8 years ago when I bought several sets of tires. Like Brooklin, these were heavy models and at the time had slightly more detail than Brooklin IMO.

@david-green I have that Ranch Wagon with roof mounted canoe. I’d forgotten they were made in such limited numbers.

Great model Randy. If you want to part with it, Jack Dodds might be interested.
