Message: PICS A new model coming from Marshall Buck's CMA in 2010. Don't blink, because if you do, you might lose your chance to add our next 1:43 hand built limited edition model to your collection. I've chosen to produce a very limited run of the Fitch-Phoenix. This is the first and only model ever produced of this car. Some of you might be familiar with the Phoenix; though I'm sure many are not. Below are a few photos of the real Phoenix car and I have also given some background on the car as well as very brief history on John Fitch and his illustrious career. I am working directly with John Fitch to produce this edition, which is expected to be in production and available early 2010. These models will be built to our usual high standard of detail, fit, finish and presentation. Each model will come mounted inside a display case with an engraved and serial numbered plaque and separate certificate. Additionally, each model numbered 1 through 150 will come with a plaque mounted to the display base that has been personally autographed by John Fitch for this edition. If any models past 150 are produced, they will be numbered, but not autographed. As with all of our 1:43rd models these will be highly detailed pieces. They will be similar to our previous limited edition of the Siata 208S Spider, which is now completely sold out. We're trying to get an accurate count to determine the edition size since these models will only be produced one time, and we will not be able to accommodate any later re-orders. We do already have advance orders from some of our dealers and private collectors, but would like to hear from everyone. We will only produce enough models for what we will have confirmed orders for. So, if you do want one of these, please don't wait too long to respond. The final count needs to be determined within the next 2-4 weeks. There is the possibility that there will not be enough models produced to fill all orders. The exact price is not set as of this date, but they will range between $199.00 to $229.00 each plus shipping. Sincerely, Marshall Buck Contact Marshall at: mb@cmamodels.com
