You must check it out if you are near Kentucky this year!

The only three 1/43rds I saw! Look to be handbuilt one-offs?

Unusual of the museum to display the Mysterion. Built with Ford engines. But there are a few GM cars at the Henry Ford so all is fair.

The smaller Firebird 1 looks like the 1/43 Norev Firebird 1 that is in my collection. Nice!

The 'little' one is 1/24 or 1/18 scale! So the other one is huge!
