Have we seen these models before? They are new to me. A bit pricey, but look nice! 1973 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Dark Red by BoS Models LE of 504 1/18 Scale 648865279706 | eBay 1975 Chrysler Imperial Golden Color by BoS Models LE of 1000 1/18 Scale New! | eBay
I have been looking for a 69 Fury model with no luck for some time. I even have a nice model of a Omni GLH . I don't get it.
No detail on the chassis, and no, the hood does not open. Nor do the doors or trunk. But, the models look amazing with very nice detail and proportions. Some have incredible paint jobs that look like you could dive into. I have the 62 and 65 Imperials, and the 62 Newport Town and Country wagon and the 67 Newport convertible. Absolutely love the dark blue paint job on the 62 Imperial. I have considered a few other 1/18 scale BoS models including the 60 Valiant, 31 Dodge coupe and convertible, the 62 300 convertible and coupe, the Jeepster Commando, and the 57 & 71 Imperials, but the high price tags have kept me from pulling the trigger yet on any of those. They also do 1/18 scale 61 Dodge 4 door, 56 DeSoto 4 door, Dodge Ramcharger 4x4, 63 Chrysler Newport 4 door, and a 52 Dodge 2 door sedan. Here are the current BoS models that are available in 1/87 scale, 1/43 scale, or 1/18 scale. American Excellence - Diecast Model Cars. 100 % Diecast. All Brands.

Those are pretty cool of many unique or unusual model cars. My kids always buy me 1:18 scale Mopars for my Birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas etc. I was running out of room so I made a shelf off of the beam in the "Racement", racing themed basement as we call it.
Bob did you really look at the color of that NYB.... Chrysler would never let that combo out the door.
Jeez, from some angles that NY'er in the video looks real! It's too bad that BoS models don't have detailed chassis. Especially since they go so far as to include the shoulder belts clipped to the headliner. I'd like to see a BoS rendition of a Formal wagon... but I'll have to be satisfied with my 1:1 Mopar.
