Nothing currently..for years it was a Weber's Brooklin...got the Model A. Then it was a Brooklin Birdsnest T-Bird....got a copper one.

Then an Elegance '76 Coupe de Ville...got it.

Then a Motor City Ford Sportsman...got it.

Then a Motor City Chrysler Town & Country Barrelback wagon...got it.

Most recently, snagged an Elegance '50 Roth Cadillac service
vehicle and both of the obscure units produced by Milestone Miniatures.

Now??????

Suggestions taken and accepted.

Thanks, David. I will do so. (later) And did you set me up!

No bright colors at all! Right now I'm torn between Rolls Royce Blue (really!) and Rust (which was common, I'm sure.)

Suggestions: TK, I thought you were still on the lookout for an MOC tutone Huddy and a T&C Sedan.

True, true... Just not 'pining' for them (or anything) to classify as 'Holy Grail.'

I have the Valiant only, very undersized compared with the Jupiter version.

I got confused, thought you might be talking about the UK-based, now defunct, Milestone Miniatures, maker of the Forty-third Avenues.

Not quite a Holy Grail but that copper T-bird held by Thomas was the first to come to mind.

Would sit nicely next to its brother.I have not seen the copper one on ebay for ages.

I never saw a picture of the MCUSA 1954 Packard Caribbean top up.

The only color that I saw was the black and white convertible top up and the pictures were ordinary. I'd like to see the two-tone blue.
