The relationship between price and quality? Yes ... but (pics)
First, take a look at this 1:43 scale Pontiac.

Today I found this one back in a box filled mostly with empty boxes, all stored in my workshop.

The Road Champs copyright date is 1998 (bottom left). The price is up in the right-hand corner. This evening I was checking on some Motor City prices being asked on eBay. Just seems like quite a difference. Oh well, I know the dollar was worth more in 1998.

Certainly a far cry from this one David.

And in between there's the old Brooklin, selling for modest prices on ebay.

The Road Champs Pontiac looks really good and it is a remarkable deal at that price, then or now !
