Playtoy 1/43 resin 1946 Chrysler Town and Country, made in 1982. This model was state of the art when it was released, and for a near 40 year old model, it has held up quite well. Some of the metal etched parts need to be re-secured as they have become “unglued” but otherwise no issues. Well, there is one other issue; my fumble fingers dislocated the driver’s side rear view mirror. My fingers were not designed for handling any model with a mirror or texting!

Yes, its by Brianza, base is signed. 

Please feel free to use my photos. As I did not take photos of the base or any other views, would you want additional photos/views?

I also have or had the 53 Buick convert, and 57 Cadillac convert. I dont remember if there were others.

I always like to double-count, so the two photos above are just perfect for hobbyDB!  Thanks!

And I like how Vitesse did the Highlander plaid upholstery on their T & C convertibles but I've never seen the Playboy versions but they look like they got the front clip the correct length that Vitesse missed on.
