Is the Franklin Mint (oops i mean Danbury Mint) 53 any good I don't have any Franklin Mint and prefer something very authentic and detailed.

I just got the one from DM and the quality is very good! Don't know about the one from FM though..

Sorry it was really Danbury mint that I was refering to. old habits die hard.

I have both and the Danbury Mint version is much, much better. Of course that is just my opinion.

:iagree:

The Danbury Mint one has unbelievable detail at such a small size. I have the '53 as well as the DM '68 and '65. I'm itching for another one though. These diecasts rank a 10 in my book, and my scale ranks AutoArt around an 8. AutoArt Millennium ranks a 10 as well though.

I ordered one just because you had to buy the '53 in order to get the '96 they are going to release in that series along with the '69, '64 and '60.
