This is a '32 Ford 3 window coupe made by Yatming and part of their "Diecast Metal" Collection. While nothing opens on this piece, I still think Yatming provided a good representation of this car.

IMHO doors that don't open in a 1/43 scale diecast car don't bother me. An opening hood is fine (it shows the engine and doesn't hurt the overall appearance of the model).

High end 1/43 scale diecast cars do not have an opening hood, trunk, or doors. These cars sell for $75-$200+. The gap between the door and the fender takes away from the clean lines of the model.

Some people consider Franklin Mint 1/43 scale cars to be high end......I don't. The hood, trunk, and doors open on most of these cars. I remember paying $55-$65 for a 1/43 scale Franklin Mint model car. I only have 5 or 6 Franklin Mint, and wouldn't buy another one unless it was $20-$25 at a diecast show and I really liked it. I most cases if you tried selling a Franklin Mint model car, you would be likely to get 1/2 of what you paid for it.

There are some nice 1/43 scale models in the $10-$30 range that are very well detailed.
