Great looking models!, especially the Dodge!
Hard to believe that they’re Altayas!

Those are great pics of models I've ignored for thinking they were not well-done, I was VERY wrong! Both are outrageous today as back then. See these at almost every 'big' car show you visit in Florida it seems. They are shockingly huge in person, guess it's the length of car with the tall wing? If I had to choose, the Charger Daytona is a little more interesting as it's less photographed over time.
Side NOTE: I had a well-drilled on my property a few months ago. One of the technician's late Father has a giant car barn full of vintage muscle cars including one these with 426 Hemi Power, all OEM factory installed! There were also Barracudas, Challenger, and Ford and GM muscle too.

Nice pair of Mopar winged warriors, I have ridden in a couple of Superbirds some years ago, fun times. I have acquired a number of these PW models recently including three more at my local model fair yesterday, they are pretty good value.

Very nice 917/10, I bought the Solido model back in the early 70s which was pretty good for the time. I had to put the decals on though and er, they do not line up. I got another one later that was better.

You gents with local access to PW models really have an advantage over U.S.-based collectors! Can certainly see the appeal and value of both racers, A+

Gorgeous models in a category that Brooklin excels at.

That V12 sedan was considered the safest and most luxurious sedan of its day. Pierce Arrow failed to offer a lower priced model like Packard to produce cash flow, going under in 1938. That Travelodge trailer though helped spark a generation of travel trailers as trailer camping became very popular with the introduction of interstate highways and cross-country car travel. Great set!

I have always liked that set but never got around to buying it. Nice birthday present to yourself, that's what I do when mine comes around, only just over two months to go!
