Premium X (Ixo) 1981 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
I just came across this online. It looks quite nice, in it's odd way, and not a body style I have represented in my collection. "And why would you want it?" I hear you say. Ah well, show him something different and the foolish child's eyes light up.
Anyway, the rather small pictures on Ixo's website make it look quite sharp

but in some bigger photos on a couple of seller's sites it looks like a 20 year old clunker with patchy paintwork and the trim falling apart. Maybe just bad photos?

Anyone got one, or seen one? I have one or two of Premium X's earlier American cars in resin and they tend to look a little "plasticky" alongside a Neo or a Matrix.
I also spotted a '61 Corvair amongst their new releases, but it turned out to be 1:18. Just as well really, because it's invery pale turquoise and white and looks like a plastic soap dish on wheels (a fun accessory for the bathroom, but not the model shelf).

Both Neo and Greenlight have versions of this body style.
