The red Ferrari might be a pipe dream right now, I have looked at several models and they all are very nice but for one reason or another they just don't match up to my standards. Part of my philosophy is that if I am going to be putting up that kind of money then I want near perfect as possible. I still think that is my first choice so I might have to wait a little longer. I did pick up a dark blue #55B Ford Fairlane Police Car recently for a decent price so Kwakers was right that there are bargains to be had if you look long enough.

Hopefully 2015 will bring more high grade models my way. I would love to get my hands on some vintage displays as well.

Well, the search is still on for the elusive red Ferrari, but I did add another one off my list. Here is the #31B Ford Fairlane Station Wagon in yellow. This is a Stannard code #5 - yellow body, silver and red trim, crimson base, with clear windows.

I am working on a deal for a kelly green Singer with SPW and a metallic blue canteen. Hopefully in a couple of months I will be able to cross those off my list as well.

If anyone is looking to sell something from my list let me know. I'm always willing to look.

That's a beauty John, one to look at many, many times. I think the clear windows look great on this model.
