Very nice challenger it is too, well done :-)
Even so, that's a car not everybody could afford, and the owner of that would have been admired by his (car minding) neighbours.
Even more so if your layout is set in the '90's or 2000's, that would now be a restored classic :-)
Athearn however is now going through a push of releasing locomotives that would be found in the next transition era, from 1st gen to 2nd gen power and beyond, I would imagine they would release car models that would fit their trains....
Anyone of Athearn listening in?
As for detailing, I want well detailed models, the not so detailed ones are good for background use on larger layouts (perhaps if you can place them 3 to 4 feet or more away from the layout edge) , but shelf layouts, modules and other small designs do not have enough depth to be able to use those convincingly without instantly 'shouting' MODEL!
