One of the nicest moonroof model I have ever seen is the GLM 1954 Chrysler Imperial La Comtesse Show Car. The quality and fidelity to the smallest details is simply mind blowing and the interior is beyond belief for this scale.

I agree Richard.  GLM did an amazing job on their '54 Chrysler in all the other versions as well.

You sure got some awesome pics, especially of the interior and the delicate script on the fender.

It is a beautiful 1954 show car and replica of it by GLM. A gorgeous automobile on display at any scale.

The clarity of the glazing on this model was impressive. Nice pics, Richard!

Very cool but also very impractical.   A/C would be an absolute must, otherwise invest heavily in turkey basters.  🙄 🙄

@bob-jackman ...that explains your wife's FB post, "My husband is no longer allowed to watch any Kuvakas videos!"    🙄 😯

Yep, I don’t think there were many sunscreen products available then. You could always invest in rolls of heavy duty aluminum foil.

@100ford2003 Ah yes, the "Elvis"  method!    Often, the "Memphis Mafia"  would cover hotel windows with foil so Elvis could sleep during sunny daylight hours.  👍 👍

I’ve never heard that and I frequent and worked at probably the biggest Elvis themed restaurant / museum West of the Mississippi. It’s named Azteca Mexican Restaurant on Main St in Garden Grove. Main St is where the Friday night car show is held. The restaurant is COVERED wall-to-wall along with the ceiling in Elvis movie posters and memorabilia. Most of it done by “yours truly”. I’ve got stories that go back decades and can’t be recounted here. 😂😎
