A recent release from the Goldvarg Collection, issued December 2024.
1967 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop Sedan - LE #025 of 200 - GC-059A in Tyrol Blue
Now this model does have one very slight issue, it came with a chrome separating trim strip along the lower roof line. On a 1:1 without a vinyl top, this would not be there. The trim strip is only added to those with the top, as seen on the 2nd color of this model from Goldvarg. I removed the chrome strip from my model. However, a crease in the lower top and body is still visible, but less so than the chrome, so I better with it.

I removed the chrome strip from my model.
I noticed that right away AND saw that crease.... NOW we know why GV added that incorrect trim! But still, it looks MUCH BETTER, more accurate this way; nice EZ work John. 😎 😎

That trim was what influenced me to buy the model with the vinyl top. The removal of that trim helps.

I'm not talented enough to remove that crease, I considered adding a black top to the model (or dark blue) but the thought of doing that might have been a challenge for me as well. The model was a must have for me, as teenager, my parents had a '69 Bonneville in Warwick Blue w/a dark blue top. This '67 is a great reminder of my parent's car. That '69 was a great car, it survived three teenage drivers (and I was tough driver) and just about 400,000 all original equipment miles before she finally rusted out to the point of being no longer safe to drive.

+1! I agree; even with the indentation, it looks better than with the incorrect strip.I removed the chrome strip from my model.
