Good finds. Congratulations!

The 1959 Oldsmobile is one of my favorite Neo Models.
I bought mine when it came out about 5 years ago. It's certainly ideal for a nice Christmas picture!

Very nice! My dad's Herald was that colour - Lichfield Green and Sebring White..
Also like that Opel and didn't know these people made caravans - I've only seen the motorhomes

Good stuff Keko. I especially like the Herald.

Olds
I think I was lucky to find the red Olds that I lose the oportunity to buy 5 years ago as soon it was sold out. I could choose between it and the open top version in white, but my wife prefered this one, so here it is...

Keko, you are certainly lucky to have this red/white 1959 Oldsmobile, since it's now out of production in that color version, i.e it's still produced now, but in single tone metallic beige!

This red & white 59 Olds came out in 2014. At that time, people were complaining about the body warpage --- a longitudinal bow. Now, seeing the accolades thrown its way here, I went back & looked at mine, and sure enough, the bow is quite a bit less than it was in 2014. Still noticeable with a close look, but not nearly as bad as it was. The same was true of the white convertible, which came out in 2015; it's also straighter now.

Keko, your Schuco tandem looks terrific. Recently, I bought both a VW/trailer and Isetta/caravan set which strike me as.....the best expression is "cute".
I too have the Neo Olds and mine is very straight. I like it. Congratulations on your good finds and great taste in models!

Hi, Richard. I have the early hardtop - straight but my early convertible is bowed
As a result of this experience I look very closely at resin models, wherever possible using 360 views to ensure that the body is straight. Of course this is no guarantee but it lessens the chances of buying a "banana mobile". Of course, the one sure way to achieve this is to buy white metal.

The NEO convertibles are chronic for bowing; in my experience at least.;
I have the red & white HT version and it is fine.

I wonder why it got better. Good news for you but kind of surprising.
