This is great!!! I'd love to see one in Turbine Bronze. (I'd really love to see a 67 Newport in Turbine Bronze, but that's just being selfish . . . )

Arctic Blue for me. One was in my family for years!

Holy crap! It almost looks real!

 

[mopar preferred]

Yep. These resin cast models are usually very detailed. The diecast metal ones are less crisp, fewer details, silver paint instead of photo etch, etc.

Love it!

It would be fun if the models were packaged in boxes like that!

Wow! This is awesome. I have a dealer promo model, but would love one of these.

Any chance they are making a convertible? Rumor has it you also have an equally impressive convertible in your stable?

Regarding the hood ornament, was that an option in ‘68 instead of standard? My ‘68 convertible nor a friend who has one about 20 miles from me has a hood ornament on our convertibles.

Our 68 convertible had no hood ornament either More associated with 1967

Hood ornament is 66 & 67 same part. 68 went with THREE HUNDRED on drivers side of hood up front

66 and 67 had different bases, but the used the same ornament (they interchange between the 2 different bases)
68 had C H R Y S L E R on the drivers side of the hood
THREE HUNDRED on fasttop c pillars- and used on the rear quarters on the convertibles and four doors

For just about a year,I have been a consultant for a die-cast collector / retailer and a manufacturer on the development of a very highly detailed 1:43 scale of the 1968 Chrysler 300 coupe. I have supplied information, history, photographs, and specific measurements to them. I have also been afforded the opportunity to critique the cad drawings and the latest prototype to further refine accuracy. The final product should be available sometime in May.
I was VERY excited to find that one of the four colors being offered is DD1 Sky Blue Metallic!!

Are they not going to do the burgundy model?

The black and burgundy are a “Toy Car Geek” exclusive. The guy that owns TCG has suspended taking orders until the tariff situation calms down, so there is a delay on those two colors
I have my Pre order in at TCG for all 4 colors to be placed as soon as the owner is satisfied that the tariffs are settled.
However other vendors like “mint models “ are selling / taking orders for the blue and green cars. Actually- there is a current listing on eBay for a blue now
