John, When this came out I jumped all over it. What a terrific model and I hope we will see more of this era in the future. Thanks for the great pictures.

Darn.  I waited too long and can't find one of these terrific models.

The hinged upper windscreen on this model is such a neat feature for 1/43 and looks beautifully scaled.

I like mine, too.  I would post a picture, but it's (temporarily) packed away right now.

Just last week there was the second half of a fine article on a similar 1921 Milburn Light Electric in Hemmings Classic Car(Feb. 2021, #197).  Here's a taste:

David, Welcome Back! You just don't know how pleased I am to see your posting. 

It was your post back on the old site that prompted me to take action and order one.

Thank you, John.  I've missed the good spirits and great information here.  It's good to be back.

The CMF Detroit Electric prompted me to write an MAR article on the electric and gas-electric hybrid cars in my collection.

This model looks really nice. It's a good candidate to join my collection in the future. John's pics help to look it even better.
