Those are beautiful Buicks, John.  Are they white metal or resin?

From what I can see, the interior seems to be very well detailed. The seats look to have piping- a detail which usually only appears on high priced models.

Glad CFCC did this. They have several 1950's cars that are WORTHY of this "detail treatment." This Buick looks amazing!

At around $30, these are great values. GFCC, Greenlight, Whitebox, D'Agostini, thay all are pumping out some truly fine models at incredibly low prices. What an awesome time to be a 1/43 collector!

@jkuvakas They have been upgrading the line to make less toy-like, more detailed models. Kind of like BRK vs. NBC.
