The Cord L29 Murphy Town Car is the ex movie star

Publica, Civic, Subaru SVX
I have three First 43 models. The Toyota Publica is a bit crude. The 1989 Civic Si is a very good model. I just received their Subaru SVX, and it is absolutely superb, a beautiful piece.
So quality is definitely variable, but at around $18 each, I really have no complaints about First 43.
