I have the lemon yellow version that was a Lesney Edition for 2011?, which also has a metal base. This casting is definitely a favorite of mine. I still need to track down the Sam's version, which to me, was the only other good version. |

Team Canada

Definitely! It was great to see this model make a reappearance in the 2014 mainline, albeit in a livery that was more suited to kids. This version is probably my second favorite version, behind the 2010 Turquoise version. No doubt a great candidate for COTD! |

Nice old Chevy - this black one looks sharp - like the wheels on this one. My favorite is the turquoise version - remember a few of those in that basic color back in the old home town years ago.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Indeed, Juan. A casting easy to fall in love with, so I bought about 6 or 7 when this version came out. |
