Looks like Sergio nailed this one.  Gorgeous.  And, this color makes the car look so elegant.

I don't know how Sergio is keeping his prices down.  It seems like $99 is a good deal.

Excellent review, John.

@whodeytink, I agree about his prices. Most other makers are $120-130 or more. Few of them have the same level of high-quality customer service as Sergio. It will be interesting to see if the proposed tariffs have an impact.

Thanks for the review. It looks like a very nice model. I also am amazed that Sergio can keep prices at $99.

@perrone1 I agree Tony. Have this model in this color and it's a home run.

I much prefer a 2drht. body style but regardless, this model is very well done; I have this color on order.  I would love to see the Catalina 2&2 and/or the Grand Prix at some point.

Nice photos. I would also prefer a two door body style.

What a beautiful car and 1/43 model from Pontiac and Goldvarg ! A terrific video look at this one, John. It certainly is a gleaming four-door replica as it displays itself on the turntable.

@jack-dodds, I'd be all in on a 2 + 2! I'll take my GP as a convertible. Put 4 speed shifters in both, please.

@jkuvakas I find it interesting in that up until a few years ago I always really disliked the front end of the '67 Pontiac, especially the headlight treatment (except the Grand Prix, which I have always loved).  The stacked headlight '67 styling has been the subject of conversation a number of times on this Forum and I recall my original negative opinion about it, but I was surprised to see the many differing opinions from our members.  This caused me to slowly reconsider my opinion and over recent years, lo and behold, I have come to actually like it...especially the 2&2.  This is yet another positive result of being a member of this Forum; it encourages open mindedness.  So thanks for that!

For 1:1 cars, I'll take convertibles & 2-drs every time....  BUT I love 4-door scale models!   I'm thrilled to see so many "regular cars"  being offered (in ALL scales ) as of late.   

PS

I'll never warm up to that '67 front end, 1965 will ALWAYS be "number 1"  for me. 😎 😀

That's a beautiful model John. I for one don't mind 4 doors. My cousin Mike had one just like this back in the early 80's. Man, what a tank, but rode like a dream.😎
