Mike,
Yes, there was a beautiful white-metal model of the Norseman produced by
'Great American Dream Machine' a few years ago. Less than 100 of these fine
models were manufactured before GADM stopped producing models, therefore
they are almost impossible to find nowadays, as are the other dream cars in
the series. As it happens, I attended a large toy show in New Jersey
yesterday (added seven more to the collection), and saw the founder of
GreatAmerican Dream Machine. There's hope on the horizon!! He sold the
company recently, along with all the castings, and the new owners will
eventually resume production of some of the original cars. There are photos
of this model, along with models of the 1951 Chrysler K310 and '52 C200 on
my website. When I find out more about the new owners of GADM and their
plans, I'll post the info to the list.
Happy collecting!
