Default Anybody have info on this 58?

Very large dealer issued model. Approx. 14 inches in length with real carpeting and vinyl dash and seats. Detailed engine compartment, working doors and trunk, and steering. I've never seen one of these before.

That's the 1:12th scale 58 made by Solido, about 10-15 years ago. It was also available in a light blue version.

More recently, they've been marketed under the name of Gearbox Collectibles. Gearbox editions came in both white and black versions, along with the original red and blue ones, and were also available with a hardtop.

They originally sold for about $100. I think they've been out of production for around 5 years.
