I've recounted that as a 5 year old I got a 1/25th AMT 1961 Imperial convertible in red. I carried it everywhere for a few years like Linus with his blanket.

So when Brooklin came out with their Imperial I got it in a heartbeat. Same with the blue convertible.

But it was the red I've been looking for for years...and now I have it! It was very reasonable, and best of all it was a birthday gift today.

I'm a happy 69 year old boy.

Oh boy, what a birthday treat ! A beautiful red 1961 Imperial. I have one in this color although it's in 1/18 from Yat Ming Signature Series. Any color of this car is great but the red is especially gorgeous.

You appear to be quite happy with your new 1/43 "toy."   If you're happy, then we're happy! 😏 😏 😏 

But I must ask......   Surely, you didn't build a 1/25 model at age 5, so just how did you get it?  Brother? Mom & Dad?

They were simple and my dad put it together for me. But I watched!
