More new 1/43 releases.

This is for form members that have a taste for vintage European sports cars
A 1934 Voison C27 coupe from Minichamps. It has a MSRP of $95.00.

1960 Cadillac 6 window sedan from Brooklin MRSP 129.95

1948 Ford pickup lettered with a verity of locomotive manufacture’s logos at $12.95 each. From American Truck Series

How many of you realize that the American Locomotive Co. (ALCO) manufactured automobiles and trucks shortly after the company was created.?

As far as I know, no one ever made a 1/43 model of one.

Wow - that's cold. A person had to be warped not to like Dean Martin. He was one of my favorite stars, and I loved his Matt Helm movies, and his roles in movies like El Dorado.

It took more time than I expected to make the sign with his picture on it in the photos below, but it's a scale model of the real sign (now gone). The first photo shows 77 Sunset Strip as it was on my layout up to a few minutes ago. Until now only the Jensen (Lynley's car) was on the layout all the time. I know it does not correspond to the TV show, but in honor of Dino and Matt Helm, I replaced Stu Bailey's T-bird with the Dual Ghia. Note how grand it looks there! And besides, Veranda Turbine really deserves to ride in something classier than a T-Bird!
