Die Cast mistake
Was in my local Kaybee the other day and picked up what I think will be a real collectors item (unless they know something we don't know)...It was a chrome plated 1:43? scale coupe model with a matching chrome license plate with the "manufacturers" name embossed on it....only problem.....it was a Chevrolet! plate!

Re: Die Cast mistake
Funny but when I tried to find that car with the appropriate "viper" nameplate-I wasn't able to find it. The one you found Joseph seems to be the only one that's available. It's been easily available on eBay for a year or so now so I'm not sure how collectible it is (or will be) but it's an interesting novelty.

Re: Die Cast mistake
Sounds like GM must have a strong influence on the manufacturer?

Re: Die Cast mistake
I don't know what happened with this "run" of cars.....just an error in packaging....I guess! Maybe it's "wishful thinking" on the part of GM!!

Re: Die Cast mistake
msdiecast.com lists this along with similar cars with the chevy plate as a "Recall" and ERROR. I wish I could find one.
