An exceptionally nice looking casting. Is that rear correct?

Pretty accurate I'd say. I am not sure if all the lines are correct, but the proportions seem to be. |

Christian,
Beautiful model of that year's "Boattail" Riviera! Do you know who the United Collectors used as a source to produce the initial casting?
As you said, at first blush, it looks like all of the details are correctly sized...even the relatively thin "A" pillars. It's hard to tell from photos, but the only details that I noticed are the angles around the tail, which look a bit sharper than the prototype and the trim around the rear window which is a little thick...but these are relatively minor. It's just nice to see a great replica of this vintage car. Thank you for finding this!
Tony F.

Just to be clear, I have nothing to do with the creation or production of the model. I don't know very much about it either. There is however a connection to a well known German cottage manufacturer.

Here's the deal. The manufacturer would like to stay under the radar, so please no bandying about of names. He needs 15 orders to make a second run viable. My model was EUR 20.00 (plus shipping).
Anyone who wants a kit (or more) please PM me with the following details: name, address, email address, desired quantity. I will forward that to the manufacturer who will then contact you.
If there is anybody from the San Francisco area here - the packaging of the model comes from there. Since United Collectors has run out of those boxes it would be helpful if anyone could pick some up.
