  Thank you for your continuing reviews, John.  I appreciate your comments and evaluations.  This Oldsmobile is not one of my purchase candidates, and your evaluation didn't change my mind, but it helped me decide.   Keep 'em coming!    David H

Another fantastic video John, thank you for taking the time to do them, and please keep them coming.

I hesitated to buy this model because the pictures on the internet did not properly show how great this model is, but right after I watched your video, I went ahead and bought the green one.

It will look fantastic next to my Neo 1959 Oldsmobile.

@jkuvakas

Thanks John.

The three things I like about the model that your video clearly shows, is the long hood and long trunk section, and that beautiful GM flowing hardtop design.

The pictures on the internet did not properly show these designs on the model.

I just received the Conquest 1955 Buick Super Riviera hardtop today from Buz at route 66.

It is a 3 tone model, with a light grey bottom, red upper body and white hardtop.

It is such a beautiful model, and looks great next to the Conquest 1957 Buick Buz sent me a few months ago.

I will post pictures of these 2 fantastic models in the next day or 2.

A gorgeous car for sure. Nicely detailed model.  My grandpa had one and I remember how elegant the interior was. A great and informative video as well!!!

John, terrific review. I liked your background on the 1:1 including the distinctive features and your neat line drawings which GM marketing did so well during this period. Your review is so professional and darn isn't that another little beauty from Sergio Goldvarg's shop.

@jack-dodds I agree with you regarding the '60 Olds styling. 

For some time Sergio has been showing well-finished prototypes of the '61 Olds 98 bubbletop. IMHO it's much sleeker looking and i'm [patiently] waiting to pounce on one.

@jkuvakas The '61 has been released as well?  That's the one I've waiting for.  The Goldvarg '60 is magnificent but I never cared for its styling.

@mark-lampariello, sorry, I misread your note. I haven't seen any '61s yet.
