As promised, here's the 2nd '51 Frazer I just recently added. I had been looking for a closed version of this model almost as soon as I had added the 1st model in the open format. Buz from Route 66 had the open version on his site, and I snapped up as soon as I saw it way back in 2019. The Indian Ceramic color has long been a favorite, especially since I added the '49 Kaiser in the same body style and color two years earlier. Anyway, after 7 years of searching for a closed version that I wanted, this beautiful Mariner Gray one came along (thanks again Randy)

and just a little added bonus - took a few shots of these two gems together

These are so nice.... sure wish they were available as highly detailed replicas in 1/18! I've only seen two real ones - that glass "B-pillar" always fascinated me.
John, these are great pics - lucky YOU! 👍 🤓 👍

As anther added bonus, I had completely forgotten about this gem that I saw at the RM Sotheby's Auction Preview in 2015.

Congrats on the addition of the Mariner Gray. I never saw the model in this color before but it looks terrific.
