I have not received a mailing or newspaper insert for many many moons for a model car. Maybe 1990s from Matchbox Collectibles and Franklin Mint?
I just get this one from Hamilton Collection, Niles, IL! 1:18 PACKARD V12. Four payments only - $100 total. The green color caught my eye, but I will not be sucked into this! But it is "prized by collectors and coveted by enthusiasts"! 😆 😆 😉
What do y'all think?

Karl, when was this ad run? All of the recent ads I see from Hamilton in Old Cars Weekly have prices above $200.oo.

Karl, that's simply a "re-packaged" 25 yr-old 1/18 Anson 1934 Packard. These are currently offered on eBay, "MIB" for $25-$40. So... IF you're tempted, save yourself $60-$80 😀 😀 😀 😀

It looks cool whomever originally made this one and, of course, it's a Packard !

@bob-jackman I received it this week in the mail - which is why I was surprised. Had not seen ad ad like this for years!
