The Cinnamon in the video and the Ming Jade have the wrong wheels. They should be swapped. The Cinnamon was a pre-production prototype. The Ming Jade in the video has the same wheel covers my own '70 had.

A straight piece of foil without door break on the lower side window chrome trim. They did this trick on the 1957 Cadillac 60S. This is not acceptable but clearly shows cost cutting about essential details accuracy.

For me, it's a small price to pay for the level of finish and detail they provide. But you have to make your own decisions on what to buy and why you buy it. What may be unacceptable to one of us may be tolerable at this price range for others. It's OK either way. But if we want details like this addressed, we have to be willing to pay a higher price. The question we all must answer is, "How much am I willing to pay for greater accuracy?" There are always folks like EMC.

@jkuvakas My thoughts exactly, John.  I'm amazed at the details on the Toronado but there is a definite limit to what I will pay for a model so I can accept little "compromises".
