The detail looks great. By any chance are you offering one version with the roof rack deleted?

Not to be a pessimist, but I don't remember roof racks on too many station wagons running around the Midwest suburbs in my youth. Besides in 1/43 scale the right diameter might be a tad fragile. This in the photo looks a little big. And with a coat of chrome it may even look bigger. I just want to help you sell as many as you can make. I like the wood looking trim on the sides better.

Brochure shows it with or without the rack -- but it must be extremely thin to be believable.
It's just as correct either way, so if it can't be extremely thin and delicate, why not save the effort and leave it out?
The model will be just fine without it, just like the mirrors on these '62 Specials.

In my customs I use paper clip wire for roof racks to be in scale but that would be way too delicate in resin so I vote to leave it off.
