New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I guess you're not going to see one of these at a local yard sale or even a swap meet. This one may just be a little too wild lead-sled custom for me, but at just a few bucks, I'd buy this one at a heartbeat!! Nice score!! |

I have a soft spot for this casting anyway. Usually sold in the 100% line or in premium level offerings and series...never in the mainline. I know there is a "Dinner" car issue (the Hollywoody, in chrome silver) that I'm missing. About half of the issues were issued with a surfboard in back, I don't recall offhand if this particular issue had one or not, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker at the price. |

It is an interesting casting. I didn't get any of the boxed single releases, but picked up the later (and less expensive) carded variations from the "Hot Rod Magazine" and "Great 8's" series. |

Any wagon is cool in my opinion. And this is a great if a tad small casting. The color scheme on this one is a little too much. |

This was one of the first 100% castings made...it came with the '38 COE hauler. They made 18 variations that I'm aware of.

Neat vintage Buick wagon - I have a couple versions of it - can never go wrong adding a station wagon to your collection! |
