A beauty I've been looking for if the price is right...who enhanced it?

And now NEO is doing the quite rare fastback sedan known as a Town Sedan which was only made until January of 1949 due to lack of popularity.

Thanks for posting, John. I like it! Mine is also a favorite, perhaps because a friend of my father's had a new one (1:1) that I used to admire when I was a boy. I looked up pictures and found an unusual one of this convertible with its top up. I'm ready for BRK to make this version!

Nice model John. I always liked this one. The early casting..
like your grey one, had the front chrome trims attached by lugs underneath the wheel arches. These had a tendency to fall off. The second version in dark metallic red had these pieces attached via small pins that fitted into drilled holes in the body - a much better solution.
