2018 - 2023 CMC News

The first batch of Pullman in China suffers from wrong assembly of the grill and the second batch of Pullman in China also has this problem + lack of springs at the opening mechanism in the hood.
Let's see how the overseas Pullmans will be.

The first batch to Europe was largely destroyed in a truck accident according to rumors.

I can understand the frustration about the decreased quality control.

On the hand, even with all these issues and the increased price, I still think that this 650 euro Pullman is more worth buying than the 500+ euro AUTOart version.

I think in a few years time, this CMC Pullman will reach 1000 euro.

You should see the list on PC.

There will be a 1:18 black prince. The 1:24 high end market is dead.

For me the kill over all kills is, no black pullman in all versions. As much as I like red and blue, and dislike black, only good color on big Mercedes is black.

The black one is currently the only one released

I do agree that CMC should consider black for all the versions, i.e. also for the one with opening roof panel and the landaulet.

To be released in 2021 according to the CMC Facebook.

I'm looking forward to the red 275gtb, as I like all my Ferrari models to have the same color, also looking forward for it to join my CMC line of red 250 GTB SWB, Testa rossa, California and GTO.

Yes, regarding the 250 GTO, I think the current value from high to low is:

Essen midnight blue, #19, red, blue, silver, yellow, #172, #86.

Why #19 is so much appreciated is because, it's a Le mans class winner, it's limited edition, and it's mainly red.

Why the other two livery version are not so much appreciated is because they have less impressive race history, and the brown one is just an ugly color for most people.

Usually the non livery ones are more desired than livery ones. See 250 TR and 250 GTB SWB for which red is the most desired one. #19 GTO is the only exemption for the reasons above.

I think the inflation rate/desirability of the 4 CMC 250's are:

250 GTO > 250 California > 250 GTB SW > 250 Testa rossa.

I guess the 275 will be similar to the GTB SW.

The third batch of the black Pullman is hitting the Chinese market now.

1st batch: with springs connected to the engine bonnet, only a few hundreds are made, with the most QC problems
2nd batch: without springs
3rd batch: without springs, improved QC according to the Chinese collectors.

ferrariforever, is there a way to tell the second and third batch apart?
I just saw a video of an unboxing on youtuve with a model without the springs on the engine hood and he had a broken trunk hinge. The metal trunk hinge broke!
For the prices these are going I really dont want to have something like that happening.

That's a good question. I'm not sure. The first and second batches should be sold out, but maybe some stores might have leftovers.

There is one more item that might need attention.
The first batch has the front grill mounted incorrectly. That is, the vertical part of the engine bonnet is not flush with the Mercedes logo (not the emblem sticking out of the bonnet but the logo lying flat on the bonnet), but sticking out a bit. The reason for this mismatch seems to be that CMC has installed the grill in the wrong sequence.

I'm not sure whether the second batch or/and the third batch has corrected this.

My feeling is that the Pullmans will become 1000+ USD in the near future when they are long sold out. With or without discount at the moment, just get one asap
Here in Europe, the AUTOart Pullman is still fetching 600+ euro...

Cool, finally some news from CMC. Still waiting for their 275 GTB

I wouldn't compare a sealed BBR with a fully opening CMC.
I predict CMC would have zero trouble selling their 275's. Every single CMC Ferrari street car has been heavily sought after. The 275 wouldn't be different.
Beauty wise I think it's behind the California and the GTO, but before the GT SWB. Price wise that's also what I think it will be in the long term.
