A few years ago, I picked up one of these from Route 66 Models. Now when I think of a limousine, white is not the 1st color that comes to mind. However, for this Imperial, it is an impressive color. Very recently, I came across another color variation of this regal limousine, in Raven Black. This is an older release than the Cloud White one I already have, and other than the yellow headlights, the model is in exceptionally nice shape.

Here they are...

Beautiful models.  They must weigh a ton in white metal.

Those are beauties ....... both of them ! And especially impressive as limousines. I am happy to have a regular 1955 Imperial, although is is 1/18 scale from Signature.
