For a number of years I had an Ertl 1967 Wide-Track Pontiac GTO 1/18 scale black chrome "chase" car ........

Mike, I have seen the term “chase” car for some models. What does that mean?

Ed, I think it meant and referred to the small number of 1/18 diecasts that Ertl sometimes did of a release that featured a "black chrome" type of finish and were quite limited in numbers produced. Thus, (I believe) collectors had to "chase" after the model and find it for sale somewhere.
