Thrift store find...

Here's a 1:24 diecast model of a 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo by Motorsports Authentics that I picked up at a local thrift store which was going out of business. For two bills it was worth the "gamble" as it had no tires! I found some oversize 1:25 scale tires that fit the rims. Even though not perfect, certainly better than the car being on the ground. Put a small amount of detailing into the model to spuce it up. I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but the price, graphics, Monte Carlo and Jeff Gordon all had some appeal. There are no opening panels on this car.

Thanks for looking...
