If my eyes work correct, it's missing the last horizontal bar on that grill

The bumper on the model is higher which visually eliminates the need for it.

Not absolutely correct but tolerable.

1948 Pontiac grille

Believe or not, I already brought this up with Sergio, 2 or 3 weeks ago. My complaint is the vertical pieces are too bright and too far forward. In other words, to prominent. I did this through private emails, but since others are noticing the same problem, I think it ought to be corrected. Otherwise, this is an excellent interpretation of a 1948 Pontiac. While I'm at it, I think the Goldvarg 1961 Chevrolet Impala is about as fine as you can ask for. All of Sergio's models, at this price point are superb.
I want to mention some other models I just received. I am blown away by the Matrix 1930 Stutz Lancefield Coupe. The detail is unbelievable. Could be the best of 2019. I also have the Autocult 1956 GM Biscayne concept sedan. Wow, a great model, and I am overwhelmed by the GLM 1941 Buick Roadmaster Convertible in Black. It is just so authentic looking.

Agree with all of your observations , Ray. I never thought I'd see a model of the Biscayne.

Pontiac Grill

Dear friends, thanks for the comments about the grill.
This issue was fixed already. There are four horizontal bars now, and the vertical bars are not prominent as the horizontal ones.photo no longer available

Sergio, you're the best

Not many manufacturers talk and discuss with the public. That's make you special.
