John K's '57 Chevy, John's courage in admitting he bought that hot rod Chevy makes me feel good about one of my new Hong Kong arrivals, I knew what I was buying and am pleasantly surprised it's as good as it is for $12.12 USD.

TinTin '47 Stude. Commander Regal De Luxe coupe. Actually, not bad.

Sorry for the out of focus 2nd pic.

Photo Bucket seems to change every time I use it, I resized my

Studebaker pics the same, you see the results. Well, it's free so I can't complain.

A nice model and a great deal for the money, Leon. Did the figures come with it?

This is a part of a series of TinTin cars.

There are 72 different I believe. Would have to check, I ordered the complete series. They come with the figures and a certificate that gives some information about the real car and of the details of the model.
These models are always made after an image in the TinTin comicbooks...

This is a webpage where all the models including pictures and part of the comicbook can be seen.

It is a nice series, specially if you have all of them.

Tintin cars

These cars are quite charming and some are pretty accurate. I believe they are out of production, but some of the cars can be found on e-bay for around $30 (plus shipping from Europe)

Thanks, Karl. I have only one (the Packard), but these are great!
