A very nice pair. I have both and I agree... they are "Super" together

I'll see your 88, and raise you three 98s.

Very nice, Harv. I've always thought the longer wheelbase 98s are better proportioned than the 88s.

I have three of the four Esval models.Ā  Each is slightly different in little details.Ā  They are superb models, imo.

I agree with Barry that the longer wheel based 98s look better to my eye. In 1957 the shorter wheel based 88s look okay to me. I have all of the models shown by Harvey but in different colors...great pictures.
