Probably wrong, but something about this appears to be a fairly high dollar die cast, but it's a model in my eyes the tires had me wondering but closer inspection changed my mind.

 The windshield just looked too clear,no blue tint......and this is one of the few R.O.M. I have actually got right!!! Woooooo Hoooo!!

I nearly typed "Real" for the answer...

It's a Model.

It even has working electric windows, to give you some idea of the detail.

Harry, what's your obvious tell? (assuming it isn't the tires)

The front emblem and "OLDSMOBILE" letters are bad, and the roof is too flat; it should have a noticeable "bulge' to it.

But the important thing is... you fooled them!  B)

What I thought looked modelish (a new word for the dictionary?) Was the front header above the headlights had a different curve to it it kinda flattened out then took a curve up to the hood. But those tires almost changed my mind, the most realistic aged rubber tires I've seen on ANY type of model.
