And, more.

Was there ever really a tab-sponsored race car?

I was tempted on the Mr.Gasket set I like the paint scheme but not for the price. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1679354683.jpg

There was a somewhat famous pink Charger drag car back in the day.

I think this is one of the first real premiums I ever bought. At K mart back in the day. I felt funny buying a pink toy car as a teenager. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1679357737.jpg

Helping my sister clean out things at the house where my brother-in-law and I came across these model kits still sealed in plastic. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0debe18b10.jpg

Well, they are dusty but still pretty cool. Here are some of the diecast models from my brother-in-law's collection. I especially like the Mustang and Charger from the movie Bullitt. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac8042f28e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3dd7a256dd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9fe9687f85.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d32c9f4c77.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...373b2a2524.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff162ab757.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2bd28c2ea1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0edf0e7035.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9e640c1b8.jpg

It's all about the perspective. Kid's got some serious chops.

The dust makes them look like barn finds. SmileWavy

HobieMarty 03-26-2023 06:34 PM

I know right? It would be cool to build a diorama of a dilapidated barn with the cars in there.

While helping my sister clean up some things at my late brother-in-law's house, I came across a plastic tote that had the boxes for these two cars.
If you scroll back through this thread, you will see when I got these cars, cleaned them and detailed them a little, but I didn't have the boxes. The boxes were in pristine condition being stored in the tote along with other NASCAR items. Inside the boxes are styrofoam containers that the cars fit tightly into then that is placed in the box and the sleeve with the artwork slides over the box. Very nice packaging and to me, the boxes are just as important as the model. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fd8867fb66.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...42cb438980.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...669ea83f4a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...67db6eb703.jpg
