Attention Forward Lookers and all model car collectors! The 1/18 scale '58 Fury from Ertl is here! I picked mine up this morning at my local hobby store. The model is very nicely done, with two exceptions: The fender skirts should have been left off and, most important of all, the color is wrong -- should be Buckskin Beige, not ivory. Maybe they'll correct it at some time.The '58 Belevedere should be out in a couple of weeks in Met. Turquoise.
