My hoarding continues with these fine white metal models.
Both the Plymouths and the Pontiac Star Chief hardtop are from
WMCE, and the Pontiac wagon is a Brooklin.

Really special! Thanks for posting these, especially the wagons. I don't see many of those. Great!

An excellent array of new models. You must have had an amazing time unboxing all those!

Do you have the WMCE '57 'Miss Belvedere' John?
I am considering that one next, and would like somebodies opinion on it.
I am sure it is up to WMCE standards, but I want it to be somewhat different sitting next to the '58 Belvedere.

Ben; I have Miss Belvedere and love it...beautiful colors. As you may know it doesn't have quite the level of finish bits as the '58 but IMO that doesn't matter.

BenD, I don't have the 58 Belvedere but I do have the Miss Belvedere which is a fine model so I can't give you an opinion. I would guess that the side trim would make them different enough to have both.

yes I have Miss Belvedere. I’ve had for awhile. I am very happy with it. I believe I have photos of it, I see and post later if I can.
I really like the style of the 57, and next to my green/white 58, it looks great. I hope to get photos of them together soon.

Where are WMCE models actually made? The older Western Models I have were all from Taunton UK. Twice visited their production facility when Mike Stevens was the owner.
