I don’t generally like to post information about my new models until I have them in my hands. However, the cat is somewhat out of the bag. My importer has told me I will take delivery on Monday. Pricing is still not known, due to import issues. The models are limited to sixty of each color, with 18 of those in closed (top up) variants. The Sunset Rose model has single headlights while the Indian Turquoise model has dual headlights. Back when these cars were introduced in 1956, some states did not allow dual headlights. By the next year all states recognized their legality. Here are some production photos. After I have them I will post again with (hopefully) some better shots. At least some individual ones. It has been said by some: Tom, you’re no photographer!
til then, drive safe!

Your photos are always great Tom, at least all in the past. They show the models nicely. These are good too. I can't wait to have these two in hand. Beautiful color choices.

Already have the GLM '58 - could make nice bookends.

Finally arrived after some difficulty regarding tariffs. They amounted to over $11 per car. More about that later.
They are beautiful, but you can be the judge.
My regular price on GLM models has been $129. Add $11 = 140. When ordering you have to say “Imperial”, so my $10 discount applies = $130.
Your price when mentioning the Forum. I will pay shipping. 2 models for $250.
Now for some pictures:

I’m sorry. The photos just don’t pop like they should.
