I saw this one reviewed (kindly) and pictured (well done) here a few weeks ago, and today mine arrived, directly from China. And it was well packaged, too. I can't find the original listing here on the forum, but as I opened and examined this one, I sure did (and do) thank that person for his recommendation. I went with the two-tone green. (Click on photo for enlargement.)
Please note that this model does NOT come in a plastic or any kind of display case. However, it made the trip without damage and I am pleased with it. I recommend it to your attention.

More information: Graeme Ogg, who knows all or can readily find it, described GFCC back in Dec. 2017 this way:
"Their official registered name seems to be Tongbo Toys Co Ltd, based in Albany, New York. and I’ve read that they are a toy and sports equipment marketing outfit rather than a model manufacturer, but apart from that I don’t know anything about them or what their intentions are in the 1:43 field. The models are produced in – surprise – China." (I might add this this is my first GFCC, but I don't think it will be my last. David)

Interesting, it's been 2 years since MAR Online reviewed any GFCC Toys. Glad they are still around!

I have one in two-blue that I've had for sometime. I was very happy with it as well. All except the very large hood ornament. About the same time, I had received a GLM '41 Cadillac from GLM direct w/o a hood ornament. I sent an email for a replacement, and they sent along two. I replaced the one on the GFCC, it looks a better now.

GFCC has made several models that have found their way into my collection including this Cadillac, a 1955 Studebaker Speedster, a 1956 Buick Roadmaster four door hrdtop and a 1956 Lincoln Premier hardtop.. The Lincoln is especially detailed including factory A/C with the plastic tubes in the rear package tray. These certainly qualify as bargains IMO.
