Here is another little blue bird. This 1957 is from Conquest.

Beautiful little blue birds; a square bird and baby bird!

Funny, Tuesday morning I had that FM square blue bird in my hand for 30 bucks til I noticed the front driver side turn signal missing. A shame because it is a nice model of a fine car. Love the Conquest model as well. 😎👍 A few more “bluebirds”

@rich-sufficool Really nice pics Rich; I have many of these FM 1/43's, but not this one.
I thought I read once that because FM contracted with multiple suppliers to produce their 1/43 series, quality & accuracy varied - some were better than others - this '58 Bird being one of them. Perhaps you, Tony P., or John K. have further info.?
(I'd say their 1951 Mercury was the worst 😔 😔)

@chris I just remember there were two series of the 1/43s. I bought the ones that looked the best. At 79, I'm lucky if I remember where my car keys are. LOL

...as long as you remember to wear pants when you leave the house. LoL 😀 😀

@chris Hmmm... I thought it was a bit chilly today. Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.
