This model is AWESOME. The level of detail at this price point (sub $40) is INDCREDIBLE to say the least. For one, the hood hinges are proper, realistic scissor-type hinges that rival PMA for detail and intricacy. Secondly, the usually good-at-best ERTL paint is extremely well applied, to my surprise, it's deep, rich, and equally applied throughout with no areas of splotchiness.
The interior is nice, too, with accurate looking gauge-binnacles, and the wood dash looks well done as is the steering wheel. While it is good-looking, ERTL unfortunately made the mold a bit huge. The seats are nicely replicated, too, and almost seem real--at first glance anyway. Overall this Olds is one of my favorite models I've gotten this year. It's well-done, great-looking, and it displays beautifully with other Oldsmobile and muscle cars, even from more premium diecast companies. I highly recommend this model to anyone who seeks a good, but budget, muscle car diecast that isn't the garden variety Chevy Camaro.
