I sure wish someone would do the tri-five Chev Bel-Airs in 1:43 scale.
I'm talking about 2drht, a good quality and complete trim, reasonably priced, non-banana shape. I would also love to see them done in the Nomad wagon as well; personally I would buy every one. I know Brooklin has done the "trim painted over" '55 Nomad, Motor City is too expensive, Vitesse is decent but IMO not quite well enough done. I'm thinking first (of course) of Goldvarg; given their current outstanding quality and price range. What does everyone else think....is there a good market for the tri-five Chevys in 1:43?

Trax of Australia is currently offering a series of 1955 Chevrolet 210 four door sedans that, except for RHD, appear to be clones of what was sold in the USA. Single tone or two tones available.

I'm thinking better details and finish trim. There's no comparison to what, for example, Goldvarg is producing IMO.

I believe the Aussie "55-'56 Ford had a Meteor grille and different trim.

Per the larger photo in the Trax brochure these '55 Fords wear the same grill as the US versions.
