This was a $15 garage sale find my grandson got for me. This model was amongst several NASCAR diecast that were saved from the aftermath of a house fire. The outer box has some smoke and water damage but the inner foam and the model are fine/no damage. It also had no paperwork. But I'm extremely happy to have this beautiful model in my collection.😊

BeFore I read your back story,  I thought you had turned this NASCAR into a regular car, which I have wanted to do. By the way what year is yours?  

1949 Oldsmobile Red Byrons  NASCAR 2

You really find some great deals, Geno.  DM did a fantastic job on the Olds models.  And, there was a convertible under consideration.

@whodeytink Thanks Mark, I'm always looking in the usual AND unusual places for deals. It just happened to be that my grandson Noah found this one. I bet a convertible would have been a beauty. 😊
