GM in miniature
This is a MUST HAVE, if you like GOOD 1/43 rd diecast! Most of the cars are ABOVE my budget,but great to view.I bought the Ford book,some time back,and liked it.This one's EVEN better,and bigger.I hope Randall writes more,like Mopar,and independents.He seems to have access to great collections.The photography makes this book.I bought mine in advance,through Amazon.

An excellent overview of 1:45 Models
This is the Second 'In Miniature' book by Randall Olson that I am reviewing and I like it almost better than the first one.
Lots of lists, photos and detailed descriptions of more than 500 great 1:43 scale models from the 1920s through to 1954 by various GM brands. Lots of woodies, emergency vehicles, big convertibles and commercial vans.
Another great coffee table book (it's almost hard-back quality). Looking forward to the Chrysler one, Randall!
