Just found this one on e-Bay. While it may be a little "crude" by today's standards, the subject matter is very attractive and I don't have anything else like it in my collection.

This is incredible 1953 Ford which fills a very important gap. As far as I know Nostalgic Ministures was operating during 80s- early 90s. Sometimes models were made not strictly in 1/43. Except a selection of Fords this manufacturer produced a nice 1941 Lincoln Continental Coupe which I look for.

Love it! Barry, it must be a Northeast car with rust on the bumpers...maybe from Brooklyn.?

Funny, John, it clearly looks that way in the pictures, but not when you look at the actual model car. I probably should polish the metal a little.
But yes, I remember many cars parked on the street in Brooklyn with bumpers looking like that LOL

To each his own. I sold off any NMs I had decades ago and said "good riddance" as each left my home.
