The 1957 Chrysler 300 C

One of the best 1/18 models i owned. This is the 1957 Chrysler 300C from Matco Tools Authentic, the only brand in my collection. 


Posing in my garage diorama.  The model has exquisiite detailing not found in any of my 1/18 models, not even CMC, Exoto or BBR have them. 

Check out the retractable antenna

Check out the ignition key, separately attached

Detailing of accurate door hinges for the hood and trunk are just exceptional.
Nice touch for the front seats that can bend down

Details om the passenger door interior
Excellent grill work

and lastly, exquisite detailing of the undercarriage.  Needless to say. it has the working suspension  I expected from a 1/18 model.  


The real thing first released in 1957 and discontinued after its 1959 model.
