I've had this model for at least 25 years, haven't seen any for sale since ????? & have a person interested in buying mine &* was hoping I could get some guidance as to what to ask for it - it is not warped or anything, I've been very careful with it knowing the fragility - anyone know what one in this condition is worth?image

    the front section, which lifts off to display the chassis (as you know if you're familiar with them) doesn't fit up real tight, not due to damageimage

    Ive seen those sell on Ebay for several Hundred dollars. Been awhile since one has been on there seems like $800.00 or so

    TY Roger - if I don't sell to local buyer will bring it to San Mateo as will not ship it, same with my dealer's clock which I will be showing him later this month.image

    I just looked on Ebay and found one that sold for $442.00 . But he didnt know it was a factory model and just said it had no makers mark. Also it had a missing hubcap and one wheel was loose . As well as some cracks in the plastic,

    thanks again Roger as I don't look for stuff on eBay - of course they are rather crude but were never intended to be sold anyway as many were given away by dealers to prospective buyers - being plastic also makes them prone to damage esp. if get hot, will warp, but I've always thought them interesting because the factory made them rather than toy makers - I also have one of the little metal English-made "Dinky Toys" Hudson sedans

    I once found an English-made metal toy model of the '36-7 Railton sportman's coupe' in a toy store in England & as I had that exact Railton at the time bought it however have seemingly lost it! It was expensive as considered quite rare, even there (never seen one here in U.S.) & as am cleaning out my house up in Prescott maybe it will show up.
