Three things:

1) Love this very popular color (...and that white interior! )

2) So glad it's a 4-dr hardtop.

3) VERY glad GLM  replicated the tires correctly; those double-stripe whitewalls are accurate.

When I was shown the original deco samples, the models had single stripe white walls. I said to my contact, “you know the Imperials when new had dual stripes. Can you do that at scale?” I showed him the original brochures. Two days later he was showing me the dual whitewalls. There were other changes as well. The people at GLM are absolutely the best to work with.

I love to hear stories like this. As you know (...and as I have said for years ) "wheels"  can make or break any model.  Thanks for your comments.
