This 1959 Pontiac looks excellent and really stands out in this brilliant white color. When I was a kid, I used to have a 1/25 scale '59 Pontiac and it was a favorite. Right now, I have a 1/18 scale 1959 Pontiac Bonneville in a darker copper shade and it is also a fine diecast replica.

Nice looking Pontiac and I love the fact that it's a (shorter ) Catalina... but I'd have to lower that rear just a bit.  🤨

@chris Agreed, a fine looking models just needs the excessive rake taken care of.

I'll have to see if there is anything I can do about that rake, although it may be beyond my abilities.
