The '52 Imperial 4 dr sedan looks excellent. Perfect color choice also. I wish more of the early '50s Chrysler products were modelled.

@kenspear  NEO had planned to relaunch their 1949 Chrysler New Yorker sedan in blue but it seems to have disappeared from any listing of advanced planned models.   And I keep pushing for models of any of the 1950-52 Plymouths.  Diecasts, resin, or white metal.

Here's my favorite from the era.

I realize that these Franklin Mint models are from many years ago, and their opening features are a little clumsy by today's standards, but they are still IMO impressive.  For today's price, they can be a bargain for the young collector with a sense of history.  Go for it!

And here's a more recent production that is too often overlooked.
