What beautiful automobiles and 1/43  models in great colors ! I have 2 Yat Ming Signature '62 Olds Starfires in 1/18 scale and they are real favorites.

I have one of the Yat-Ming models too. It's in Garnet Mist, always loved that color. I always considered another color, but then I switched to 1:43 and added more colors there.

This one I think looks great in any color ! That kind of "brushed steel" insert along each side is a stylish touch. 1/43 versions of this one clearly would be a treat ...... as here, it clearly displays and photographs superbly.

I have the second and third colors shown by John above along with the black convertible top up. The blue hardtop is special to me as I had a 1/1 in this color except mine had a white top. I also have the 1/18 model in Garnet Mist and the black one. Thanks for the pictures John and Buz for getting the 1/43 models made.

I agree that they’re all beautiful models of that Oldsmobile.
