PIC - New '57 Buick Century convertible in our favourite scale

This is a neat colour scheme and notice the nice photoetched Kelsey Hayes knock offs. Its a Conquest and I think will be one of a very small batch. A "White Metal Wonder"! I am thinking about getting one, 250 clams is not cheap but this is a low volume handbuilt white metal model.

There are those that don't like the '57 models. I am not sure why. I think they were a very attractive automobile.

I saw it. I want one. I can’t order it until Wednesday. I hope it is still in stock!

I nabbed an earlier release version of this one, and it is (PIC) one of the favorite models in my collection.

Randy, you won't be disappointed with this model. Like

Brian I acquired an early version and it is terrific with the wire wheels.

Bob, it certainly looks gorgeous and Brian's fine photos confirm it. Thanks.
