    I probably shouldn't be helping these guy's sell the miniatures by letting you know since True Scale Miniatures used a photo of my Riv to promo the model and they didn't ask me just took it off cardomain - distributed it out to retailers and didn't reply, when I queried them and asked if they would at least send me one of the miniatures for using my car and picture to promote it.

    But they did change to a picture of the actual miniature on their site and it looks real nice, so I thought I'd let you all know about it - lots of diecast retailers have it on their sites, here's couple or buy direct and tell them you recognized my Riv (and Pauls for the blue one) in their advertizing.

    Wow, $60.00 plus bucks for a 1:43 scale, I have a 1:64th, a 1:43rd and a 1:18th and don't have that in all three, hope they get more realistic with the price.

    I here you plus shipping on top of that.
    They claim to have very realistic details, does anybody have any of them?
    I'll probably wait a but since it matches upto and tied to my real one I'l have get eventualy.

    I already have two 1:18 scale ones - one that I repainted and modified parts to be more realistic and match mine ( still working getting the pattern into the seats, will use Bare metal chrome foil for trim and add lot engine details (a grand prix gonna donor that stuff - Also have four 1:64 three color match mine (one is staying in package), another matching one is a key chain. I Want a western model 1/25 kit (they don't make them anymore) but people keep bidding to high for me when they pop up on ebay put a $125 bid in last last time around it went for $166 - been telling my boys to get me a 1/25 resin kit for the last few years, got pretty much every production Buick plastic kit available already (most still in the boxes).
    Haven't seen any 73 Riv Models or diecasts.
