@jkuvakas. John, could you please email me at ken spear@rogers.com. I have been trying to reach you but I think that I have an incorrect email address.

Excellent “My Take” John.  I always look forward to your presentations.  Those Goldvarg models are beautiful.

Excellent video. Thinking ahead, would you bring one of those to next Countryside IL show in March. I would like to see one in person.

Well, I was unaware that Goldvarg released white-metal models. So...thanks John. Nice vid.

Well done, John.  Here are my two (same as your two) with another of my favorites- Goldvarg's 1950 Packard.  Perhaps it's not the best detailed, but it captures the mood!  And I like his license plate, too.  (Click on the picture for enlargement.)

Thank you JK. Great presentation. I sold two white metal Goldvargs at the Toronto CCCS show last week. After your presentation, I wish I had kept one. I’ve had several over the years but am not primarily a collector of American cars. I have high regard for Goldvarg.

@jkuvakas Thanks John. I have many of the Goldvarg white metal models but the one that eluded me is the 49 Plymouth station wagon. If anyone has one they would like to sell please let me know.
