Mark Millar, did you ever get that Norev Ford Edge?
If so, how do you like it?

Thanks for asking. I will be ordering it next week. That being said, does it seem like the new dealer promo's are being made in 1/43 scale? Corvette and Camaro being the exception still produced in 1/25.
I for one am really hoping for this to happen. Being from that golden era of dealer promotional model cars and that IMHO is the late "50s" into the early "70s" I always looked to purchase the 1/25 scale from the dealers. Not to mention these were all of about two dollars, very affordable from my .25 cent a week allowance and moving up to a paper route in my teens.
Now these highly detailed models come at us from the "50s' to present in 1/43 with nice display cases.
I don't know why but, I have these 1/43 models displayed against the wall in my office remind me of all the good times I had as a kid collecting them.
Don't get me wrong I respect the higher end collectors like Motor City and others, I can't afford to spend 200 to 400 on a model. Wish I could but can't. The first two I would buy is the 56 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer and the 64 Buick Wildcat.
