I have a 1/24 Franklin Mint of that one.   Same color.  Dusty case and all.   It's in my office at work.   Found at consignment store for $10.  Missing mirrors, maybe something else.   No one notices that but me.

I got the 1/24 version the other day for $20.  It's a chocolate color.  Not bad, but the door fit was atrocious.  Forgot the maker, or if it was even mentioned.

Could be the Danbury Mint version.   It's almost brown, actually burgundy.   And yes, the quality of these now is spotty.   Many are having big paint issues at this age.  I have that one as well.   Slight detail differences, maybe a little nicer trim, wheelcovers.  $20 is a good price.

Might be.  But, it wasn't Burgundy; it was straight up chocolate.  If I didn't have it packed up from moving I'd take a picture, honestly, it looks black in pictures.  The paint looked good on it though.  Only issue was the door fit and one of the dagmars on the bumper was damaged.  I was shocked I got it for $20.  Most were $100 or more.
