Rich, I have that same model in the same colors. Like you, I know nothing about the maker but it is a nice model.

@bob-jackman Yeah, I saw this at a model show and although I really wasn't collecting any 1/43s back then, this model was so realistic looking compared to the normal fare 25 years or so ago, I bought it. I only knew of Brooklin and back then they never looked real to me (I know... "Blasphemy!"). As you can see, the model hasn't aged too well, but still has a presence.

Terrific "portfolio" of Oldsmobiles! I'd just note that, while at a a glance Albert's side-by-side shots of the '60 Goldvarg 98 and '62 Goldvarg  wagon appear as a fairly similar shade of green, they are in fact very different.  Of course, photos and lighting can produce wide-ranging outcomes.

@john-quilter Who made the pillared-sedan?  Great to see it since that's the body style rarely seen for any subject.

@mark-lampariello   Mark, The convertible,  four door sedan and wagon are all modifications of the Me-Mod resin kit.   Wish there were more resin (or diecast) models like this I could play with and create something production correct,  but unusual.
