Waited very patiently for a near mint Mini Dinky example of any casting for less than 20 bucks ... No easy task!

Finally a Sweet Vette including a Garage.

Lucky to find one mint that has (so far) escaped metal fatigue.

:thumbup: Wow! Very nice to see a Mini Dinky model in mint condition with the garage. These models seem to crumble so easily although the ones in my collection are still in good condition (outside of the Chevy's that crumbled years ago in shipment to me).

50 years from now, Racing Champions adult collectible & early NASCAR/NHRA castings and early/mid 90s Ertl 1/18s will be as rare as Mini-Dinky for the same reason.

The Key is to when the casting was first produced ... :petkitty:

I'd been after the Caddy for a while and it was just chance that this white one showed up at a "sensible" price. I was expecting I'd find a silver one first! I think the white suits the car's period nicely :)
