Interesting stuff. It does ignore Airfix though, who also produced a wide range of car kits, including deals with some US companies.

Thanks for posting.

I have no doubts about it.  There are so many replica Duesenberg Torpedo Phaetons out there that its almost impossible to use the internet to find info on the original.  I suspect model kits are the reason so many people think that wire wheels should be chromed.

As well as Heller and others. But those would have been beyond the scope of the article's intent.
