Just thought I'd bring you up-to-date on some new and revised Forward Look miniatures and models. Firstly, Maisto's supurb 1/18th scale '56 Chrysler 300B is now available in black, and it's a strikingly beautiful car in this color. Next, for everyone who complained about the fender skirts on Ertl's 1/18th scale '58 Plymouth Fury, the car has been re-issued without the skirts, but otherwise identical to the original issue. It is not a limited edition and is packaged as a "Dazed and Confused" movie car.Last, but not least, is the 1/43rd scale '56 Crown Imperial limousine from Legendary Models. This exquisite hand made model is very accurate and finely detailed, including the jump seats and divider window in the interior and a beautiful set of photo-etched wire wheels. Only 200 pieces will be manufactured, in either black or Crown Maroon, so it will be almost as rare as the real one! It's a bit pricey, though, at $275.00, but mine sure looks great next to my West Point Grey '55 Imperial Newport. Happy collecting!!
