I've been on a real boattail Riv kick lately, thanks in part to my continued watching of Due South. It's a shame there aren't any real quality die-casts of these.

Yat Ming Road Signature does one in several colors, but that's the only company I know of that makes them in large scale. Hot Wheels did a mostly stock one in 1/64 and an atrocious donked one as well.

#2, The Yat Ming ones are kind of old, though....so they have lots of ugly features like one-color molded interiors, one-piece glued in lights, and huge dog-leg door hinges.

There are a couple of boattails in those overpriced 1:43 scale "white metal" brands, but apart from being expensive as hell for what you get, those things just never really look right to me....always sort of lumpy and oddly-proportioned.

#3, I've always been in the habit of compromising if the price is right. I don't like dog-leg hinges or badly detailed lights either, but it's not worth it to me to shell out $100+ for a dust magnet. I've gotten lucky with some cheap Auto Arts or Ertl Authentics on eBay before, usually auctions where the seller misspelled the name of the car or left out important keywords or it's a major holiday or the wee hours of the morning when the bidding ends, or the car is simply not a popular model. :P
