OK, having a little fun with John's post from yesterday - if you haven't seen it, take a look.
John compared a 1954 Buick Roadmaster Convertible as well as a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible. They are both great cars, but which gets the nod? You decide.
Now I don't have a model of the Buick Roadmaster, but I do have a Century Convertible
and I have a Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible
Now just a couple of notes on the New Yorker, this model has been slightly modified by me. I switched the wire wheels to the standard discs that were on the wagons and some hardtops - I also swapped the Highlander interior to a red/white version found in the black convertible (I have one of those now w/that Highlander interior)

Love your comparison John. I have both of these models and it was a fun look at John Bs comparison in 1/43 scale.

The GLM '54 Chryslers were very well done and I love the fact that there was a HT, convertible and station wagon produced!

Me too and not to sound like I'm bragging or showing too much of my obsessive side - I have 25 of the New Yorker models in convertible, hardtop & station wagon.

Love this comparison John. Tough pick as they are both outstanding images. Taking sentiment into account, I'm going with the '54 Chrysler...it was the last car my Dad had at the time of his passing.
