Thanks JoeC.

Interestingly, the reason I was asking is because I collect 1:18 die cast and I know a guy that works with AutoWorld. I'd love to see AutoWorld make another '68 Motion Chevelle and they are interested in making real cars, not "what if" cars that might have been made.

So . . . . was there only 1 documented '68 Motion Chevelle made?

I'm not sure how many 1968 Motion Chevelles were made but that's the only one I remember seeing pictures of.

Joel showed me prototypes of Ertl cars and pictures he was using to work with Ertl to make some of the Motion cars. Joel would go back and forth with Ertl until he was happy with the model.

That car was black, what happened to it I have no idea!
