6219_Rules Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Do any of you wonderful Buick people know if the Franklin Mint or other such group offer such a model, scaled 1:25 or so? I would love one to go with my collection. I have a Yang Ming 1959 Buick convertible and the Y-Job. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shart Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Randall, I don't believe there is a current model made by anyone of a '50 Buick.There have been many of different scale in the past though. National Products made a '50 4dr sedan in about 1950. It's diecast pot metal and fairly hard to find but not impossible. A chinese company in the 1980's made a series of 18th scale tin friction motor 50 tudors in a multitude of colors. And Johnny Lightning made a bunch of different colored (mostly custom) 50 Buick fastback Sedanets in the 90's. I probably have a few spares of those. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now. Watch ebay. Most of those appear there at some point. The Johnny Lightning's were 64th scale.

Guest sixpack2639 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Randall, This 50 Special/Super 2 door post sedan is listed on ebay right now under 1951. Not a Roadmaster but is a nice original. Carlhttp://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-METAL-1951-B...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Solido also produced a 1/43-scale '50 Super in convertible and 2-door hardtop form.In the big 1/18-scale like your Y-Job and '59 Electra 225, the closest diecast Buicks are the '49 Roadmaster convertible and the '53 Skylark convertible. Other 1/18-scale Buicks include '55 Century coupes and convertibles and newly-issued '38 Special and '57 Roadmaster convertibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
