I was made aware of this model's arrival a few months ago and while I can't say I waited patiently, I did wait quietly, LOL!  I've seen the 1:1 a couple of times in shows and museums in the Detroit Metro Area, and it was an amazing car. I am very pleased to have one of my own.

Yes, all great.... but you stumped me. I don't remember seeing this Chrysler concept before. Kind of like the grandmother of Dodge's 1955-'56 Le Femme.

Getting in touch with your feminine side there, John? LoL  

Just kidding. Beautiful model. I ordered Le Comte which I think you did too. Waiting to see that one as well!

Yes! 😊 And yes sir I did order the Le Comte as well. To be honest, I am a huge fan of the '54 Chrysler styling and Tom offered some wonderful colors in his selections this time. My decision came quick before I could give it a 2nd thought and ordered all of them.

I just had to have one of these, so I built one, now watch someone produce a commercial (and better) version.

@john-quilter ...why am I not surprised. 🙄  Always liked 1955 Dodges and the Le Femme.  I have a few in 1/64

@jcarnutz All the more reason to join us next spring in Chicago. Tom had some great GLM goodies on his table… concepts, wagons, new Studebaker… I went a little crazy.

A very impressive car and 1/43 model of it ! The color is astonishingly vibrant.

I have the model coming. While studying your pictures compared to the 1/1, I notice that the script is missing on the right rear fender. I'm wondering if this is the case on all of the models.

Not missing on mine. John may need to contact Tom D for a replacement.

@jcarnutz Been there, done that. Seems like I catch something once in a while on a photo that I missed with the naked eye.

@mg-harv Thanks Harv. I'm glad John contacted Tom as I'm sure he will take care of this.
