Default Just got a Auto Art 53

Just got back from Chevy Vette fest and the NCRS booth had the new auto Art 53 for $60 The detail is incredible!!! Battery Cables, fuel lines and even the shift pattern on the shift lever!!! This car excells and is close to Exoto quality for less than 1/2 the price. Needless to say I bought one for the collection and am now waiting for the Auto Art 59 :cheers:

I saw them at the same booth, but I thought the price was a little steep. I could be wrong, but who knows. They've only been available for 2 weeks or so. Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I'll have to pick one up very soon.

I've been seeing them sell for $v 53.00 to $ 55.00 on ebay lately. Bought mine locally yesterday for $ 50.00 cash. A friend called me from Vette Fest and mentioned the $ 60.00. Not bad if you want one right now. I gave mine to my wife so my kids will have something to give me for Christmas and it's killing me.

$55 onEbay is a good price but I figured that after paying shipping it was cheaper to buy at the show. :cheers:

I saw it there too. I decided to pass. It looks great, but I'm not a big fan of the '53-'55. Plus I'm running out of room for my collection, so I need to start being a little more selective. If the '59 is as nice, I don't think I'll be able to pass it up.

I picked one up over the weekend for $50. I am very impressed. Even though I know how good AA is at making these cars. I really like the color of the seats. It has a low sheen on the seats, making it look real. Most other companies don't do that step in detail. I
