Here are a few pictures of this new addition. The chrome trim is very sharp and thanks there is no silver paint.

The only nitpick I have is the front track is a little bit too wide but I did a correction that improve the stance. This is an excellent model and I like the visor version.

Very nice looking model.  I love the color contrast as it flows over the roof/trunk area.

Looking good and it has the rear window wiper too.

@sizedoesmatter +1. I haven't received mine yet but like the rear wiper detail. A rare option back in the day.

Just ordered mine in gray from Sergio.  It will be interesting to see how the tariff issue plays out up here in Canuckland.

That's my gripe too..... and those whitewall widths seem a bit "thin"  for 1948.     Other than that, it's a beautiful 4-door model!

It's a comfort to know I'm not the only whitewall width nitpicker.

I've said it a million times....   wheels  can make or break ANY model.

This is true..... this one will get soon a set of Durham Classics (my last one) and a paint correction to the wheel discs uneven paint. I will post there after a few pictures of the improvements. This is what is missing to have this model pop out. I have the SW and the tires are far better.

@jmullinax You are not the only one that wants the correct white wall width on his model cars.

Definitely a very nice model but I would have preferred the notchback four window sedan as most cars in the later 40s were moving away from fastbacks to notchbacks.
