@d-m-holcombe DG models were also available as kits, and I had a few (including the Dinky-style [DS series]) at the dawn of white metal modeling. Two remain in my collection, both of which I built: the 1921 Duesenberg French Grand Prix car and the MG TA Tickford. Only two cars have ever won a European Grand Prix that had an American chassis, American team, and American driver, to my knowledge - this Duesey and Dan Gurney's Spa-winning Eagle from 1967.

@mg-harv I just picked up one of these but mine is missing the three little pieces across the top of the windscreen. By chance, could you get a closeup shot of them?

@randyrusk Sorry for the late reply Randy, been a busy month. The three pins represent the top hold-down pins, a detail many manufacturers miss.
