Here's one of two very recent Imperial models that just arrived yesterday. I really thought that I'd like the Turbine Bronze version best, but I was quite surprised to find this one looks so much better to my eye. It's an awesome color.

John, I chose this color as well. IMO the colors are perfect for the time period of the car.

Very attractive model; especially the taillight /rear deck area.  I'm waiting for a 2drht. with fingers crossed.

Great pics, John.  I need to take another look at mine.  It comes across as more gold, less green than in your shots and the top and interior looks black vs dark green.  They have to be all the same though.

In any case, it's a great model.
