A pic of a 1/43 scale 1969 Plymouth GTX made by U.S. Model Mint in Granger, IN (USA).Yes, hard to believe a quality 1/43 scale diecast car made in the good old USA!

Can anyone else post a pic of a U.S. Model Mint 1/43 scale car?
This is the only U.S. Model Mint car that I have in my collection. I'd love to see any other cars that they made.

Stutz,
I don't have anything made by U.S. Model Mint, but I do have this piece made by U.S.A. Models (formerly Design Studio). I think this company is located on the west coast. I don't remember for sure. Anyhow,this car is extremely nice. It is very well made and it weighs a ton!! I paid more for this piece than I have paid for any other single piece that I own, and I was lucky enough to get it for less than half of what it would normally go for. Apparently, no one was searching Eelbay when I got this one. I've never been able to win an auction for a Design Studio piece since then.
Sorry about the blurry pic. For some reason, when I use the close up feature on my camera, it focuses on the on the part of the subject that is farthest away from the lens.

Thanks for posting the pic zeb. It's a very nice car!
I have only one U.S.A. Models. It's posted in this forum as a Caddy limo.

Well I certainly was asleep on that one! I just went back and took a look at that thread, only to find that I had already viewed it but failed to reply to it. It never even registered in my mind that you typed in U.S.A. Models. I really like what that company produces. I only wish I could afford to buy a few more of its pieces.

I'll post the pic here, just in case. They are truly nice models! The chrome trim around the windows is diecast!
