...have seen pix of this very nice $40 diecast model of a '50s ponton sedan, but all the web searches lead to european dealers or to ebay...anyone know a US net source? Thanks

A hobby shop in Fairfax, Virginia had 2, one in each color, but they were $55. I got one on ebay, shipped to DC from Kentucky for $32 just yesterday (9/28). There are three more I believe.

Do you not trust their authenticity or don't like ebay?

Here is the link CLICK

For diecast, a number of Mercedes dealers offer models I've never seen elsewhere in their Service departments, along with key fobs and other gizmos.

No W123s...

Which Hobby Shop and where? Are you referring to Fairfax City or County?
