As collector's, we've been very fortunate. In the last few years, some wonderful Imperial models have been made. When I started collecting this scale, only a few were offered by Brooklin as well as a couple of others. My main area of interest is the years when Imperial became its own brand, especially those in the late 50s and early 60s. Those years are very well represented now with most of them coming from GLM.

One of the most recent is this 1962 gem. 

1962 Imperial Crown Convertible - GLM Classic Series - Limited Edition #044 of 109 in Sapphire Blue

That is a superb-looking Imperial and yes, I agree, it is a wonderful color for it ! This fine replica makes one imagine what it must have been like driving around in such  a beautiful and giant automobile.

Just doesn't seem to be any bad colors on its one. That Moonlight Blue is spectacular.

I recently added to my collection the red one with top down. My first choice was the blue with top down, but was sold out in the main webshops I usually buy, so I picked up the red one with a little discount... It's an outstanding model and it's cracking in every color you have presented...

Yes that model is also beautiful. You posted a pic of it in your Christmas Bunch post.

Great color combo !

  • I have that blue one, John.  And Nickies cordovan.  Can you ever have too many Imperials?  I think not.

@bob-jackman I am not a big fan of Imperials but I like this one. Here are  a few I have from GLM and they are certainly from the best.
