Here's a couple of GADM Chrysler Ghias from that display....
These are from the original releases. Those beautiful wire wheels have such a tendency to collapse under the weight of the model that the dealer I bought them from gave me a handful of replacements because if he replaced the broken wheels before selling the models, they'd probably break again during transport. I made a clay base to keep the whhels just off the ground.

Great pictures, really show off those "sparrow strainer" taillights as Uncle Tom McCahill called 'em

Great pictures.
I also like the idea of the clay bases; I've been using dominoes. White metal models are hard on tires as well as wheels.
