Jo-Han 1962 Plymouth Convertible Promo With Original Box, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$74
Very rare. Original friction-drive promotional model in a stunning green and dark green with a green chassis (four screws) and metal axles. One-owner model was obtained new on January 2, 1963 in Lexington, KY by a very discriminating adult collector. The box is original and stamped with "PLYMOUTH Friction Conv. Green 6 3362 Dk Met Green". The model has perfect color and gloss and very minor warping. Tires are perfect (never rolled) and it has never even been displayed. The chrome is generally 'very good' but the rear bumper has some of the typical 'crinkle' defect. The driver's side vent frame is not broken but 'buckled' as shown. It displays as 8 out of 10 (with 10 being perfect) with the back bumper chrome and vent frame responsible for the deduction.

Hudson Miniatures 1909 Stanley Steamer Old Timers, 1/16
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$64
Very well detailed large 1/16 kit from 1949. Features plastic wheels, grill, steering wheel, lights and other accessories and wooden main parts. Although all of Hudson's 1/16 kits have excellent detail, this one has even more detail than usual thanks to Hudson's engineers having access to the actual car. This kit has never been started. The small parts are still factory bag sealed and all other parts have been inventoried complete with all parts, plans and instructions. Hudson Miniatures created a very popular line of automobile kits in a constant 1/16 scale shortly after WWII. The kits sold very well...so well that you could argue that Gowland & Gowland borrowed Hudson's subject matter for their ground-breaking 'Highway Pioneers.' The Hudson Miniatures 'Old Timers' even spawned a line of imitators, with Fador's 'Smallster' being one of the better in quality. Sales did drop on the appearance and popularity of the much smaller (and less accurate) Gowland/Revell 'Highway Pioneers' in 1951. When the all-injection molded Gowland kits proved not to be a passing fad, Hudson quickly planned and released his own all-plastic, small-scale competition called 'Lil' Old Timers Quickie Kits.' The kits were of excellent quality, but it was too little too late. Additionally, sales of the excellent wooden kits faltered further in the next few years with the introduction of accurate, 1/24 and 1/32 all-plastic cars in the mid 1950s. This forced Hudson to discontinue the wood kits and the plastic line was sold to Revell and subsequently re-released. Today, these excellent, big 1/16 kits are often the only model available of these early automobiles. In the mid 1960s Aurora thought so highly of Hudson Miniatures that they purchased the wood kit assets and released a very small number of these in all-plastic models.

All parts, decals and instructions are still in the factory sealed bag. This kit also has the old style Revell clear 'Globe' base, which is unusual at this late of a date.

From the 1970s and probably from Tamiya molds. Very nicely molded with all recessed panel line detail, working swing wings, optional position landing gear, four AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, a display stand and decals for VF-124 and what appears to be prototype #5 (but I am not sure).

Not because of water damage, just age. They may still be good because the instructions came off on the decals, not the other way around.
