AMT 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible Promo, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Rare. All original friction drive, metal chassis promo in stunning condition. It was obtained on March 4, 1965 by a very discriminating adult collector in Lexington, KY and has been in his possession until now. The paint is beautiful and glossy and the only flaws are light scratches in a few locations. A Pillars, vent frames and clear are in 'new' condition. Tires have zero wear and I do not believe this model was ever even displayed. Chrome is 'excellent' and there is minimal body warping. I would grade this one 8.5 out of 10, with 10 being perfect. The box is very old but I do not know if it is original or not.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+

With the correct Tatem decals and instructions which are both in exceptional near mint condition. Even the original tissue paper is present. The kit has never been started.

The second issue was also from Brooklyn and molded in gray with no landing gear or missiles but was in the new two-piece hardbox. The third official issue is the West Hempstead issue and is molded in silver with landing gear and missiles ('Brooklyn Gray' issues of this kit are confirmed to exist). This kit is the fourth issue.
