Ut Oh, the wallet is going to take a hit.

Yeah, I saw this Ned. It's about time that 1961 Pontiac tooling gets utilized again. Great!

...and I hope they use rear wheels that match the fronts...no slicks!

Is this a re-release of Ertl's maroon and white versions from way back?
23/12/2015 10:39 am
Yes, yes it is.

Thank you, Christopher - they were comparatively rare, weren't they?

I hope they put 4 street tires on it rather than rear slicks.

Yes Paul, for some reason Ertl limited production to just 3 liveries: white, maroon & drag car....
..Worse still, they held production of the "stock" versions (with slicks!) to less than 600 pcs each. These were basically $90.00 (and up!) models from the start.
I would've milked that mold! Dog-leg door hinges ruin things a bit but everything else opens, even the trunk and the model is in scale. Overall it's a nice replica.
Glad to see it's return.
