You're letting your age show through.
My response was not meant to compare these to the diecast.But rather make others aware of them.There is no Comparison in my book.
Dealer Promo models are highly sought after by collectors and very scarce,compared to the Multi thousand Diecast cars on the market today.Every month a new diecast color comes out,HURRY.....COLLECT THEM ALL! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Plastic yes,less detailed yes,but that adds to their collectibilty.The fact that their fragile design has still lasted all these years,and sometimes can be found in the original boxes with Tissue Paper,as well as the cars crisp Details,realistic Chrome plating,and rubber Tires are more true to the cars Original design back then,then Todays thick over painted,over produced diecast cars.
Plastic promos were made for customers,or their kids back then when there was no Collectible Hobby for them yet,and most were Played with and soon broke or destroyed over time.
Not like Today,where some grown men buy diecast,just to leave them in the unopened box and store them away Hoping they gain in Moneitary value.
Don't get me wrong,diecast models are fun,as I have a few too,but Depending on the Promo model,they are not "certainly overpriced" as $400.00 is an average price today,to pay for a plastic original model that is unmolested and was produced 30,40 or 50 years ago,still in the original box with Tissue packing paper.
If you find any 1970 Chevelle dealer Plastic promo Models let me know and I will gladly take them off your hands,as I have a list of people waiting for them,as am I......
