Wow! A veritable cornucopia of new models!! Who makes the 63 Ford and the Frazier?

There is actually one new model in this bunch. I've had most of these for a while. The only new one is the '56 Cadillac Sedan De Ville from Mini Marque. It's a very nice model, but I think it is a bit under-scaled. I was going to some comparison photos with other '56 Cadillac models I have, but not a good match, as you can see from the '58 sitting next to it. I suppose the '58 could be over-scaled, I didn't measure it, but then so are all of my other '56s-I guessing they are not.

I have 2 Frazer models in this group, the '49 Manhattan in Doeskin/Cardinal comes from the Dick Browne Collection, the '51 Manhattan Convertible Sedan is by Highway Traveler's.

The '63 Ford Galaxie is by Spark. I have this and a burgundy one, they're the bane of existence whenever I bring them out. They always have parts coming loose or fallen off. Every one of the '59 Cadillac models I have from them do the same thing.  

@jcarnutz  John;  I experienced the same thing with the chrome on my two Spark '631/2 Galaxies, so I  removed all the chrome from the sides and reglued it.  All good now.  Its a pretty decent model...such a shame to have that issue.

Well done, John!  Your Kaiser-Frazers are some of my all time favorites;  and they're rare birds, too!  Thanks for posting these.

John, The MiniMarque Cadillacs are definitely under sized. I have the 1956 convertible, CDV and Sedan DV along with the 1954 CDV. Wonderful collection shown in your pictures and fun trying to pick them out.

That's a great collection awaiting pictures and reviews.

Wow-wee again!  Those Frazers caught my eye too!
