    I got them today, very detailed but the cargo area is completely wrong. I am happy with them but I wish they were bigger.

    Is the roof rack also incomplete as the photos are showing?

    Nevertheless I will order one soon.

    Yes, the outer section of the roof rack is there, then the "lines" on the inside are painted on. There are two versions, the white one only had 500 made, the green no numbers about production were released.

    Detail is very nice, they just missed the cargo are and the roof rack

    Here are a quick couple of pictures. They have nice detail but look at the roof rack, the outside trim is real, but the middle is painted on. Cargo are sucks but you can't really see it anyways. I wish the hoods opened and the doors but atleast I have a couple Buick Wagon's in model form

    They actually look much better than I expected. Cheap is another story, but won't keep me from buying.... A clamshell AND Buick is a must have for me :banana:

    The quality is second to none, detail is very good except for a couple glaring issues. They would be SOOOOOOO sweet in 1/18 scale. I wonder if we could get someone to make a 1/18 scale? But $87 each is a little expensive, but like I said before. Where else you gonna get one

    I ordered 2 of each color today. What web site did you get yours? I got mine from model-car. com. Hopefully I didn't pay too much.

    A while back my boss gave me a box of old Franklin Mint 1:43 scale cars wrapped in newspaper. I posted the wagons in another thread but here's my all time favorite.
