"White on white" and very "right!" It's a good-looking model - or - at least YOU made it look good. 😉 😉 😉

@chris very true, I just dropped off their return. Let's see if in good will, if they step up compensation wise.

@rich-sufficool Yes, it's a great model.... and, as I've stated before, no one will ever convince me that this Ford did NOT influence the design language of 1959 Cadillacs. The numerous similarities are NO accident! 🤔 🤔 🤔

@modeldadeeee Yes, "mistakes happen," I get it.... but in 2026, when EVERYTHING is either "chipped," scanned, "QR-ed," or triple SKU coded, "human error" seems almost implausible. Yes, yes.... "humans will always find a way," but I wouldn't be so gracious.

I'd demand something for my trouble - or at least try. I'm sorry, but that type of mistake can only be attributed to "laziness;" someone simply didn't care. Now YOU MUST DO extra work. 🤨 🤨 😠

....well then, apparently, I did miss something. Glad to hear there's no cause for alarm. 😉

@jack-dodds Bob's right.... they're very expensive. It's not cheap to go back in time. 😉

Now that is quite the look and one once I'm back from my business trip, I will need to replicate.

I remember an article on the 1966 Lotus Europa. The mid engine sports car looked really cool until the dimensions meant I couldn't fir in it and there was a veritable gun slit for a rear window. The rebirth of the Europa S (2006-2010) was similarly configured, but a lot more user friendly. Again, it was an ultra light weight mid engine sports car weighing only 1570 lbs in full spec. Because it was still diminutive, it really wasn't the GT car people were waiting for. A larger GT class model would come later with the Lotus Esprit. The horizontally positioned, fuel injected 2.0 liter turbo 4 produced 200 or 220 HP with only a 6 speed manual offered gave a decent performance of 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 154 mph. It was not configured for the American market, but still sold 9230 units. Model by AUTOart.

I had someone call me telling me they were with our Sheriff department a couple years back telling me if I didnt pay my fine, which I knew was nonexistent, that a warrant would be put out and I would be arrested, I told him I'd have my overnight bag packed and I'd be waiting, then hung up on him. Needless to say, no one showed up.😁

I love this shot, AND the model. I'm happy to have this one in my collection. The green with the wood trim compliment each other. 😊
