Recent find at the flea market. Thankfully, my cars are displayed on the left side :)

Never seen that one - nice casting, it looks really correct.
It's a wonder that the windshield is still intact!
Nice job with the pfoto too!

Even in that condition it's a winner. I like any car with an XK in its name.

Yup, and that thought also aplies to; the only good Chrysler K car is an x K car. :drunk:

For those who don't know, 120 stood for the fact that the car topped out at 120 mph. It was supposed to be the SS120 for Super Sport, but this was too close to the end of WW2 and SS meant bad things back then.
just taught I'd share this little bit of totally useless information. :)

This casting is being remade for 2009 by Matchbox to be a coupe. Can't wait to see it.

That's the one I'm waiting for. Isn't it due to be shipped out in May?
