As most everyone knows, these models were just issued a couple of weeks ago. Tom Dirnberger in cooperation with GLM has brought these wonderful models to the collector. As an avid collector, and with such a magnificent array of colors, I simply could not choose a favorite. The issued was compounded by the fact that I am a huge fan of the '54 Chrysler design. I wrestled with the decision for a day or so, picked my colors and placed the order. The following day, with the thought of the ones I didn't pick haunting me, I ordered them as well. So here they are in an initial profile photo. More photos have been taken and will follow in the next coming weeks, but these shots will give you a good look at the fabulous colors and the craftmanship of these gems.

I agree that it was a very tough decision to pick just one color, on the HT version especially. Beautiful display John!

The chance of you getting serial #1 on all 10 models is like 50 billion to one John....I am starting to suspect a fix was in! 🤣Â
They look great, and I hope to see more angles of them soon.

Fantastic color schemes such that choosing one hardtop and one wagon was exceedingly difficult. I would like to have gotten 2 of each but am trying to exert self-control.

For this investment in a beautiful model, getting all available number 1s out of 75 is a fitting result. I doubt very much if anyone else bought every colour available. What a magnificent display!

John, do you display all the models you buy in every color all at the same time? You should post a few pictures of your displays. I am convinced they must be very impressive. How many 1/43 models do you have?

If I spent that kind of money in one swoop, I would want all the #1 cars also, and it isn't the 1st time John has bought every color and body style of one model.
GLM's are sold worldwide, and I don't think it is far-fetched to say that John is probably one of their best customers, if not their best customer.
