researched, and spent time with, as well as time with the restorer, and former owner. And acquired many period photos, etc. I've been working on a 1:12th scale pattern for a CMA edition since about 1991/92 - way before GMP or Exoto ever thought about this car.

The wheels on 1046 were gold, but actually not a bright deep gold, they were more of a light gold champagne color. With the Firestone's and Goodyears's.

Now with regard to the Spark model...... I know that some of the photos shown are of their earlier prototype model... not final production. The actual Spark production models do have the Gold wheels, but a very wrong shade of gold. I sent Spark the correct information ages ago (maybe one year or so) for the wheels, but they obviously ignored it.
