Model Info: 
The Hubley 1/18 scale SJ Duesenberg (Kit #4864)  is a vintage die-cast metal model kit featuring the "La Grande" Dual Cowl Phaeton or Town Car body styles. First introduced in the 1960s, these kits are highly regarded by collectors for their heavy metal construction and intricate mechanical details.
The kit is known for its "Classic Metal" series attributes, which blend durability with high levels of detail for its era.
 

  • Materials: Features die-cast metal body components, high-impact plastic parts, and chrome-plated trim.
  • Mechanical Details: Includes a detailed 320 hp supercharged straight-eight engine, flexible exhaust pipes, worm and sector steering, and functional metal axles and springs.
  • Accessories: Comes with rubber tires (including spares), chrome wire wheels, and interior paneling.
  • Because these kits are vintage (manufactured primarily between 1965 and 1975), their condition can vary significantly
  • Oxidation: According to descriptions on eBay, metal parts in vintage Hubley kits may show mild oxidation or factory casting textures typical of their age.
  • Customization: Expert builders often use specialized techniques such as bare metal foil for trim and airbrushed finishes to enhance the original chrome parts.
  • Weight: The completed model is exceptionally heavy for its size, with some reports indicating the Town Car variant weighs nearly 10 lbs
