Extreme Veteran Posts: 481 Location: The Netherlands | Sweet! Love the 59 Dodge models. It's even a Dutch shop too, maybe I need to go there and see how they look in person. Too bad they don't have a 59 Plymouth Edited by Matthew Keij 2014-01-04 5:36 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | Looks like the shop is in the Netherlands aswell. I might be tempted to get a '59 Dodge model if the price is right and the scale was a 1:24 instead of that toyish 1:43. | ||

Expert Posts: 2308 Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | Some of the other cars on offer are pretty intersting as well. Who would have thought there would be any interest in 1974-75 Buicks 40 years later? (1974 Buick LeSabre.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 1974 Buick LeSabre.jpg (16KB - 403 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2519 Location: central Illinois | Of the furin models they show, the Maserati's and Dual Ghia would be my favorite. I've always wondered why the model companies pump out 60 300F's but never any New Yorkers or Saratoga's. And how tough would it be to pop out a 60 Desoto from the 300 mold?

Elite Veteran Posts: 1111 Location: Ocala, Florida | The 1/18 '60 Fury has been out for quite some time now. As far as the resin 1/43 models referred to in this thread, they are incredibly nice, but can be had a bit cheaper on ebay if you search neo or american excellence. BR54T, have you seen what really nice '74-5 Imperials and '76-8 'Yorker 4 door hardtops are going for now? Right around 8 to 11 grand for a really nice one. | ||

Right around 8 to 11 grand for a really nice one. Wasn't aware they were bringing that much or were still popular. After having a 75 NYer Brougham sedan, I moved on from the Formals, had a Fusey convertible and now want to get back into a Slab. | ||

Member Posts: 7 | When someone posts a picture of their own model purchases, could you also post the chassis? To me, that is the money shot in determining how detailed or committed the company was with quality and accuracy. It is a game changer when I purchase scale. Thanks! | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9904 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Based on the 56 Desoto that Best of Show (BoS) has produced (see below), I have lobbied their CEO, Klaus Kiunke, through American Excellence to produce a 56 Dodge 1:18 model. Herr Kiunke apparently owns American Excellence, BoS, Neo, and Whitebox (according to my American Excellence contact).
