What was the name of that new carmaker that was shown on the forum a few weeks ago? This reminds me of that.

"This reminds me of that."

Yep!   If it's not identical - it's awfully close.  🙄 😶

Interesting. The numbers sound great if the price makes sense.

It looks cool and it is an attractive V-8 powered Oldsmobile. It is hard to beat that combination !

Nice; I like it. And it does resemble the car of a short time back - has some of the same Bentley-like styling suggestions. I'd love to see this with a lighter exterior paint and different color interior.

 

EDIT: Here's the link to John's previous car of similar styling:  https://diecast.org/community/lounge/what-if-4/

It's got a 1940s look about it, I like it. The one from the other day was totally different.

I can kind of see the retro appeal for those who are nostalgic for the 1940s look, but it's a bit too tall and bulbous for my taste, and the front end is too deep and the grille is too glaringly large (although aggressively oversize grilles do seem to be the fashion at the moment).

Personally I would "flatten" the whole thing a bit, but I fully expect to be in a minority of one.

Believe it or not, Tony, that's not the one I was thinking of. I wish I could remember the name of the carmaker (might have started with D?), but they were American and were going into production. These 2 and that one are birds of a feather.
