I just received these 3 Greenlight models recently and am very impressed with the quality, so I thought I would recommend them.

REALLY good looking; especially considering their diminutive scale! Thanks Jack!

They look excellent ! The only solution to trying to choose here is to get them all. I really like the '57 "Miss Belvedere", too. Wink

@michaeldetorrice Yes Miss belvedere is very nice; I have it in 1/43 scale.

Here is a '58 I neglected to mention earlier which is well done.  Done by Auto World.

@jack-dodds Prior to these, Ertl produced the best 1/64 1957-'58 Foward Look  cars, but compared to AW's wheel & roofline treatment, Ertls now come up a bit short. 

My only ripe gripe with 1/64 AW cars is the same as everyone else's....    no chrome!   AW's excellent tooling deserves BETTER than silver painted bumpers & trim. 

Those old Racing Champion "1/64"  '57 Plymouths are nice too! 

Ertl 58
RC 57

Agreed Chris; these cars are master craft with chrome instead of the silver paint. I still love 'em but, oh my what they can be!
