Default Coupe Simone to be built.

Hi All,

After almost 3 decades since the design and story of Coupe Simone appeared and the Franklin Mint created 1500 1:24 scale diecast collector models, we are preparing to bring the car to real life.
I have collaborated with the original designers for well over a year now and the planning of the project has been scheduled. to start March 2023, starting with the chassis.
The body will be coach built with .063 3003 aluminum.
As the story is told, the coachbuilders were located in Pennsylvania as are we. Also the Deusenberg engines were built in PA only 3 miles from our facility, so it's only fitting that it be brought to life right here! Although we will not be using a Deusenberg engine or calling it a Deusy, we are still as excited to get this project off the ground.

I'm assuming that is the Raffi Minasian project he created for the Franklin Mint? You should be in good shape given the designers talents.
