Beautiful model, Ralf, and great photos. Brings back childhood memories.
My grandfather had a 1940 business coupe virtually identical to this model. I remember riding with my friend in the trunk area behind the front seat. Though by then the car was 10 years old, my grandfather kept it in immaculate condition. The major differences between the '40 and '41 models were in the grilles and grooves on the fenders for '41. After my grandfather died, the car was purchased by a school teacher. One snowy morning she was struck by a snow plow. The Plymouth was torn open and she landed in a snow bank suffering only minor injuries. I still remember the picture in the paper showing my grandfather's wrecked car. Turned out that the driver of the snow plow was Lester Green who was also my school bus driver. No charges were filed. The crash was attributed to poor visibility during a New England blizzard.
These little models certainly evoke memories.

Much more attentive to detail than the....
Durham Classics models. But Durham hold a special marker in my book!
