I apologise for quality of photos and posts. I'm on duty now and write this topic using mobile phone.
I's necessary to understand some aspects of mobile version.
About the models.
They are diecast and have a reasonable price, about 15- 20 dollars. They are rather good detailed. The main disadvantages are painting lamps and the absence of windscreen wipers.
All models are packed into carboared box.
In my opinion not bad models. Many of them are good material for different conversions.
GFCC toys makes the models in 2 variants of edition:
- simple, which packed into carboard box and have painting lamps and without windscreen wipers;
- more perfect variant, which has acrylic box, windscreen wipers and the lamps made of glass plastic. Thrir price is higher ( about 30- 35 follars against 15- 20)
Those all are terrific subjects and they look great ! The images are fine and show off these models very well. I have a couple of GFCC replicas and I like them a lot and I'm very happy with them.
GFCC has released several models in different levels of detail. The original '55 Studebaker President Speedster has lower detail and the very basic wheels, while the upgraded '53 Regal Commander Starliner is amazing with details and overall upgraded appearance. I thought I had some photos of mine but can't find them so I may not have taken them yet. I'll need to fix that soon. Sorry.
The 1st '59 Pontiac Bonneville was a convertible and equally basic in detail. The 2nd release of the hardtop is very nice, although mine sits a bit too high. I haven't looked to see if there is anything I can do to change that yet. Here's one of mine.
The '56 Lincoln Premiere is from the 1st series but does seem to present a bit better than the Studebaker and Pontiac. I have two of them and both are in need of some trim paint improvement as some of it has been poorly applied. I still need to get photos of them as well.
The 1st Cadillac was an Eldorado Biarritz, they are probably the best of the original group, although I only have one in red. The 2nd releases are '54 & '55 Coupe de Ville Hardtops. Again, no photos of the Eldorado, but I here's a couple of the '54s.Â
The best of the 2nd release models is the '56 Buick Roadmaster. I have one of the 1st releases and it is the same as the others. But when the new set was issued, they went all out in details and colors. I have four of them, they are my favorite.
They also issued a 2nd release of the Jaguar SS1, the same kind of improvements as the American cars, I've just added a couple of them to my collection. I was very pleased with the overall look of these too.
At the asking price of these models, they make for a very good buy and the 2nd releases will certainly look right at home with any higher priced model.Â
At first, I thought that all models have simple and luxury editions. But now I can say that only Cadillac Coupe De Ville, Buick Roadmaster and Pontiac Bonneville have hugh detailed editiond in acrylic boxes. Unfortunately, Lincoln Premiere and 1941 Cadillac have only simple edition.
Hope, the company will expand the model range. If they do it, these diecast models will be able good choice for collectors.
Last week I received the 59 Bonneville in blue, the 54 Cadillac CDV in gray and the 55 Cadillac CDV in yellow. These are incredible for $30.00. The models feature separate chrome plated pieces including trim, door handles, wipers, outside mirrors, radio antennas and wheel covers. What a bargain these models are.
@jcarnutz John I found these '54 & '55 Cadillacs today on ebay but no luck finding the '56 Buick Roadmaster with the upgrade wheels; at least at a price that isn't outrageous. Lots of the older ones with the generic wheels.
