I think there's a guy in the S.D.C. who either makes those GT Hawk metal models by hand or imports them from somewhere. They're astronomically expensive. I do like the Rose Mist one in your pic.

That Avanti looks pretty nice for the scale...except for that light blue with red interior.

I like the blue and red combo. I've even seen sedans painted that way, with blue on the bottom and a dark red top and, while unconventional, actually works on the right car.

It was a cheap tinplate toy when new - you can't ask for too much. Here's on on ebay
There was a fintail in the same Bandai line of tin toys - I have one of these.
For something on the other end of the price/rarity spectrum, a German made clockwork Studebaker

Thanks for posting all this, especially the German-made '53 which I (ahem) see is still for sale at that asking price!

Most ebay "buy it now" prices for vintage items tend to be expressions of first amendment rights

Sad about the Chrysler Museum. The College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend has closed and is moving, which is a real shame. Luckily, the Studebaker National Museum is still doing well per their quarterly updates I get as a member...although, they still sure ask me for money regularly! I've got to believe the archives helps them out a good bit...build sheets, and blueprints also, even for many Packards pre-merger.

I finally got a decent copy of Dinky 186, this one with apparently rare (for the model) white tires:
I like this model, as it is a good match for my car:

Geez, you couldn't get any closer! Good for you! I was always delighted with the Matchbox Wagonaire. If I had something as close to one of my actual Studebakers, though, I'd be giddy!
