OH BROTHER...

Hmm, they must not know much about auto makes. That is a great price though.😊

Hmmm, that would look nice right next to my Rolls Royce Impala…

Great price yes, but I'd not give this genius the satisfaction of getting my money.  I don't like to support ignorance.  

Hello all.  Need some help.  I purchased the said model, and it arrived yesterday.  It is very nice except, somewhere along the way the drivers side mirror fell off.  I contacted the seller who was very nice about it, but he said he did not see it at his house, but he would keep looking.  He even offered a $10 refund, but I felt bad as the car was well worth the $29 I paid if not more, even if it did not come with it's box.  So I am hoping that maybe one of our members might have a junked star chief with a mirror I could get my hands on.  Willing to pay, just let me know.

Sorry to hear about the missing mirror on the "PACKARD Star Chief". 

Errors on eBay, FB, CL, etc., are commonplace.   Often, it's the scale that buyers screw up.    Most of the time, "errors"  work to the advantage of the buyer - clueless sellers are eager to "off"  items ASAP.  

My BEST example:  Years ago, I scored a new 1/18 HW Ghost Busters 1959 Cadillac for $40 (today these can fetch over $400 ).  The seller assumed all the accessories were missing and listed the model "as is." 

- He was unaware that all the accessories were packed in a sliding foam-door compartment built into the top part of the larger foam block.

Again I say, to each their own.  Me?  I don't like dealing with ignorant people, and you already know my thoughts on eBay.  I'm done with this topic.  

Just an update.  I was looking over the car again when I heard a rattling noise.  I kept turning it and low and behold the mirror fell out from under the dash.  So now I have a complete car.  A great find for $29.

Sweet,  I'm glad you found it John, I got mine fairly cheap too. Not as good a deal as you got. It was sans mirror also. I used one from a '55 Chevy kit. It looks just fine and nobody's ever known the difference. 😊

@carsman1958 Congrats, I've learned to always triple-check packaging, boxes, etc....      I'm glad you found it.    The Devil's in the details!     😉    ....and I always sweat the small stuff!  🙄
