My copy came from a boxed 5 pack of 1950s cars sold by Road Champs. Also included was a 1st gen Vette hardtop, '57 Bel Air Convertible, this T-Bird, '59 Caddy and a 2nd Vette albeit in convertible form.


I gotta find that! Maybe more pics ... Pretty Please ... :D

Thanks!

I see so many Road Champs here that I lack. Including a number I had never seen before now (red '83 Thunderbird, green Datsun! :shock: ). I'm also jealous of the 5 pack Zach has. :thumbup:

Just wanted to say Thanks so much to all for the contributions to this thread.

Right on Zach great work on the Road Champs database updates.Glad we can discuss the topic here and save the science for the proper place.

So I ask,would it be cool to add variations to the database once they have been confirmed by discussion ... Or is one example listed plenty.

83 T-Bird red w/o rub strips.

Here is the link.

Here is the pic of car in hand.

When it comes to the database, I think the more the merrier. In part because it may expose unknown variations, and in part because sometimes images disappear for various reasons, and in part because a lot of guys shoot from different angles and with different lighting. So even extra examples of something already there are fine in my opinion...we just keep the chit chat to a minimum.

Wes is correct. Add any relevant variations to entries in the database. My take on the entire database is to treat it like a museum . . . you can look but no talking allowed. When adding pics you can do a double post of the same image. One in the regular part of the garage and one in the database. Discussion should be limited to the threads posted in the general diecast/regular bays. Discussion shouldn't be in the database.

own listing.that way a person could find the correct number and
add their variations to it.
