The 1959 model year at GM was the year of outrageous fins. Chevy, Buick and Cadillac looked like the automotive equivalent of peacocks showing off their magnificent tail feathers.

Then I saw an online review or two of this Kenefick Business Car and decided I had to have one and Factory Direct Hobbies had the one I wanted at a good price. The overall detail of this car is exceptional and the five different lighting features that can be controlled by just touching vario...
