Great choice - great Wiki coverage. I used to love these cars back in the day. They used them to make Ferrari lookalikes.

Speaking of the Fiero, I wonder if Geno got the model from Rich ?

ha! When looking at this pic, I thought Ferrari, then reading on: 

"Only 247 Meras were produced by Corporate Concepts before production was halted when Corporate Concepts was sued by Ferrari"

Here's a 1980 Ferrari 308, so we can see why!

This was not a car I was familiar with at all till Automodello produced their 1/24 so I haven't had much interest but it is growing on me.

Thanks again John for the amazing diversity of your choices.

They sure did a great job with the Ferrari body kit. Thanks Geoff
