The hardest part was selecting which color(s) to buy as all are very attractive.  I have the black and the yellow versions, top down.

I got the Tirch Red version in February, opting for the top down to show off the Highlander interior. Here it is for Rerun Monday:

They are all outstanding models. I am terrible at picking from just one color. So, I have this one as well, had to be able to show off the interior, but the top-up version spoke to me, had to have that one too.

John: Those models look nicer than the 1:1s I remember... or I'm just seeing that car through different eyes.

I've only seen one of these in 1:1 as a convertible, several 4dr sedans-wish someone would do that one too. The convertible was at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum. It was stunning. Tom/GLM did one of those as well, however the yellow is a bit too vibrant compared to the 1:1. I still have it and love it.
