Thanks, Bob ! Inexpensive 1/43 model but it displays well. In 1/18 scale, my Ertl '71 GTX unfortunately was taken by zinc corrosion some years back.

Here's a mildly hot-rodded version in 1/43 by Hot Wheels.

The European American Cars series also plans to issue (or has issued) one in black.

Mike, I love that picture of the car in front of that Tudor estate.

Here's a couple of background images you may enjoy (if you recognize the corner).

Thanks, David ! That's the Rectory of a church here in Riverside and it is a really nice Tudor-style house.

Whoa. thanks, Jay ! Yep, I certainly do recognize that corner in Lyons, IL, just a block or so away across the park area/river from Riverside. The buildings are pretty much still there but remodeled and re-purposed. With these snapshots dating from around 1955 or so I was a little toddler getting rides either in my Grandpa's '49 Lincoln Cosmopolitan (or brand-new '55 Pontiac) or in my Dad's 1953 Chevrolet (or brand-new '55 Bel Air) In those days, Ogden Avenue at that point was designated as part of Route 66, I believe.
