Great detail pics for the upcoming GLM 1931 Chrysler

See ebay auction number 390802882602 for the same car in somber dark blue. This is a rare case of the model looking more detailed than the real car (GLM shows 2 tone and striping absent on this actual vehicle). Save the pics now for comparison when the model becomes available.

Here is a teaser shot:

Note to self: Must get scale rugs to display with models.

Let's hope the actual car is crisper...

These teaser shots of pre production images meant to stimulate interest often do the opposite, they often lack the detailing and crispness and accuracy of the production run: Wheels that aren't chromed properly and not installed straight, bumpers and lights that are too thick and ungainly, mismatched, crooked door handles...the whole thing looks kinda toy like. And the colors..which are admittedly personal, but in this case tend to highlight these goofs. I'll pass...

You can always go to your local model shop & check it out, probably about 8,000 miles away.

Robert Jacobs not to worry GLM is a serious player.

Dick, this is a neat estimate of the round trip from Chicago to GPM!

Shel, if I am paying between £80 - £120 for a GLM model that is pretty serious to me!
