Nice pictures. This is the same color I picked and the tan top looks great with the maroon body.

Another entry in this series of models comes from 1964. After the two gorgeous colors issued by Tom Dirnberger for his '64 Imperial convertibles, GLM followed up with two more. Now these may not be as striking as TDs versions, but they are still great color choices. The style does look good in its silver-blue coat.

I want to feature another amazing Imperial model this evening from this series. This one was issued in 2021. Two colors were issued as Tom Dirnberger Exclusives, two others in the GLM Classic Series, this is one of those. Most likely someone will mention that this color was not an official Imperial color for 1961. Maybe not, but I've seen two of them in this color, and they were every bit as beautiful as this model.

What stunning Imperials from each year. Right now, I have two of the 1961 Imperials in 1/18 scale from Yat Ming Signature, but these 1/43 versions are quite spectacular and would be great additions.
