In Response To: In all my years of hunting models in SoCal and AZ have never found a car model at a thrift store, did find a couple at a used book store in Tempe about 30 years ago. Antique malls out here will maybe have some diecasts and Mint stuff usually thrashed or overpriced *NM* ()

Cadillac Eldorado from an antique thrift store once, but it was in very rough condition. The body was cracked in multiple places, the pass side A-pillar was entirely missing and the front windshield was damaged beyond repair. It was so bad that I’m still working on it, off and on, til this day. Maybe I will get it done before I’m dead. Oh, by the way, does anyone here have a good interior glass for a ‘73 Eldorado?
