Here are two AVENUE 43 1970 Ford Torino King Cobras I recently acquired; the yellow one from Europe last month and the orange one today from Albert Kopans.  Something a bit different!  The only difference between the two is that the yellow one has rear window louvers.

I posted my yellow one back around February. I only opted for one version.

That dash & steering wheel seem a tad askew, but other than that.... Pretty accurate replicas I'd say. 😎

I agree with you on this point Chris but it is IMO the most frequent shortcoming I've noticed in 1:43 scale models of all brands metal and resin.  Obviously it's not as noticeable compared to convertibles.

@jack-dodds Really? I didn't know it was that prevalent. But as you noted, in this case anyway, it's hardly a deal breaker.
