This is my model, or rather how its supposed to look once I've taken it out of the box. Since I bought it for my birthday, I won't open it until October. Thke model is made by Highway 61, one of the high-end brands you never pay less than fifty bucks for. The new issue isn't aqua, like my Granmpa's, though. It's coral. A nice colour, but I'd rather had aqua. It's also a 1959 model, and different in several small ways from my Grampa's. The chrome stripe for instance. If you look closely at the black & white photo of the real car, you can see Grampa's had no chrome. The two tone was just painted on and followed a curvey line. The real car had side view mirrors too, and the folded down convertible roof looks different. According to a text I'd read, the 1959 model had a new front grill as well.
