Super report John. I don't have a 58 Ranchero so this might be the one.

Goldvarg models keep getting better.  There is consistent accuracy of shape and color, with fine detailing inside and out.. As opposed to others in my collections these models stay assembled, such as the photoetch and glazing on the greenhouse maintain their shape rather than distort and detach.  Sergio also is responsive to the customer base by seeking their opinions, all this while holding the line on pricing while others creep upwards.  I'm also impressed that he takes the high road of getting official licensing.  How many others bother?  Class act.

I know this sounds like a commercial for this manufacturer but I'm simply impressed by a winning business formula of giving customers what they want, leading to his products selling out.

I couldn't agree more.

@jack-dodds I agree with Jack - I'd like to see a nice civilian version, preferably two-tone.

My understanding is that it's coming at some point!  I agree on the 2-tone.

Great news!  The 2-tone is really nice.  I would like to suggest the color combo of Bali Bronze and Desert Beige for this car.  I recall how great it looked back in the day; plus it was a change from white frequently being the secondary color on the 57-59 Fords.
