That's as cute as it can be. I like that Jewel Blue version.

Great choice John, cool article!

@perrone1 Here's the blue one like I have; the only Autocult model in my collection so far.  It's kind of a homely little bugger.....so much so that it's cute!  The metallic blue color is very nice IMO. These pics are from a current ebay ad...not mine (click on pic to enlarge).

soon as i read something like this I'm hooked, while I'm sorry about the bankruptcy my old historian eyes just light up!

"The company only made 99 cars including 1 prototype, 97 finished serial numbered production cars, as well as 1 unfinished car numbered 98 which has survived with zero miles on the odometer (99 cars total),[1] before going bankrupt in 1951."

What a stunning renovation, and Jack your model appears to be a remarkable replication.

Thanks John, love this series so much!

Who knew! Jack, I'm surprised to see a scale model of the Playboy.
