High octane Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Another beautiful model by the Danbury Mint, however I won't be getting one as I tend to favor the cars of the 50's in my die-cast collection. I just love the fins, the chrome, and the two and triple toned paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I too received the flyer for the '35 Ford Deluxe Coupe, and if you read it CAREFULLY, it says that it is the final "brand-new" 1:24 scale precision replica. I take it that it means no more "new tooling" and I wouldn't be surprised if the Danbury Mints were re-issued at some time down the road. If not, it's not gonna change my life one bit.

Harry P. Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 For many years, the typical Danbury model was $109... a few were slightly higher (like the large-scale stuff, of course), but most of their 1/24 scale models were $109-129 or so. They want $250 for this one! That's quite a price jump, last one or not. At $109 I would have bought it. At $250 it's thanks, but no thanks.

High octane Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't blame you Harry, as that IS quite a price hike. I would pay that for a particular Danbury Mint that I'm lookin' for, but not the '35 Ford Coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Regardless of its price, this is one beautiful old Ford and I'd love to have one. I don't remember ever seeing this style of Ford wheel done so nicely, certainly not in this scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formula1129 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) According to the Danbury Mint website, this model is now sold out. If you wanted one, but sat on the fence, they are selling on eBay, but at steeper prices than Danbury was asking. Two sold for $310, and this one just sold for $339 (with a bloated shipping cost to boot). The prices seem to be going up. Of course you will see the usual eBay sellers trying to get millions of dollars for them ....... I scroll right over those listings Edited April 2, 2014 by formula1129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I can EASILY live without it, even if it was only $59.95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
