This is in the top 5 of my favorite JL castings. When this was recasted in 2006, I like many instantly fell for it. Add in the 500 magnum rims, and this is among the best small scale castings of any car you can buy from any company. Great piece of JL history you have Dennis. Looks like voting for this week won't be easy at all. On a side note, This was my 900th post on the Garage. Earlier tonight, i made it to 1,500 on the other board. Yeah! Zach |

I have just gotten into this casting of JL. I just bought the last three issued. It is very well done, indeed! Craftymore, congrats on your milestones! |

These cars were never common in 1:1, but the yellow ones were more common than the white which, as I recall, was the only other color that Buick offered them in. I don't think blue was ever an option, which makes me wonder why JL made them in blue??? Edited by corvairjim, May 10 2018, 09:26 AM.

Probably a bit more back then, but still a thing today. When TZ was the "face of JL" so to speak, at least he made the attempt to reach out and interact with collectors. The same collectors who roundly trounced him over things he personally had no control over whatsoever. And collectors today want to know why makers are so reluctant to interact with collectors?...there's no mystery, it simply isn't worth the hassle. The only way to do so is anonymously through a site like RLC or HWC, and rule with an iron fist. |
