Staying with 1949 for another selection features this Club Coupe from NEO Scale Models. It's not a bad model; I think the chrome and the slope of the front fenders could have used some refinement.

Beautiful. I like the pastel yellow - fit for a true Princess.

I have this one and like it a lot.  The color is kind of unusual for a coupe but correct.

I'll take your word for it but I'm guessing not many were ordered like this.   I like it very much, but it's rather "loud"  for the late '40's.

@chris Yes, it seems more like a color you would see on a convertible in that era.
