No one makes a '96 CE coupe in 1/18. Maisto made a vert several years ago, and you can find them on Ebay fairly regularly. I made few Maisto CE coupes a couple of years ago. I repainted regular coupes in Sebring Silver, and added the correct Maisto A-mold wheels. Maisto did threaten to issue a silver '96 coupe with a tan interior and sawblade wheels, but thankfully they canned those plans. What a ghastly color combo, and with sawblades it wouldn't have been a CE anyway. LS WON might be thinking of "Special Edition", which is Maisto's generic name for their line of cars. The only '96 coupes Maisto has out this year are red and black, and both have sawblades and tan interiors. I haven't heard of anyone finding their GS coupes this year, so they may not have been reissued.
