Autocult sure knows how to put out a diverse selection of low-volume models each month. Surely, there's something for everyone in this mix:
1946 Hoppe & Streur Norvell Streamliner
1962 Monteverdi MBM Tourismo
1929 Magirus-Maybach KS 25 "Stuttgart"
And from Avenue43, the Bugatti Type 43 Coupe "Uhlik"

Their streamliner reminds me of the older one at the Lane, or even the Dymaxion,
but theirs has a bit more style!

@karl They've modeled the McQuay, too. But only Spark/Bizarre has made the Dymaxion (in green - photo courtesy of MAR).

@randyrusk Another view of the Dymaxion. Hmm.....wonder who took that photo?
Also, here's another view of the McQuay-Norris.

My favorite Autocult model is the Troll. I worked for a Norwegian company for about 14 years and saw the Troll in a museum in Oslo, Norway. I thought I would never find a model of it. Also bought a book of the history of auto's in Norway. Have a great article on the Troll which can't read a word of. Speaking Norwegian was not a requirement of working there.

Fascinating story about the Bugatti "Uhlik" - they should do the original Cord design as well!
