FordRodnKustom Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) It's rare because it's not a Silver Streak, it's a "Sliver Streak!" $_57.JPG Gotta say it's strangely, mesmerizingly impressive in all it's awfulness. LOL. Good catch Edited January 17, 2015 by FordRodnKustom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not to be difficult, but...... Just how rare is it? If it's absolutely impossible to find in ANY condition it may be worth buying just to say you HAVE one. Bragging rights are important to collectors regardless of the totally ruined condition.

Erik Smith Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I wonder if you baked it at 300 for 15 minutes it would come out a perfect 1/32 scale model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) After seeing this, I don't feel so bad about buying that warped '57 Chevy 4 door wagon promo a while back. But I only gave $6 for this one. Edited January 17, 2015 by Longbox55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 "We have never seen any other of this model." Apparently he didnt check ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-1951-Pontiac-4dr-Sedan-Starmist-Blue-Promo-1-25-Scale-No-Box/181452789437?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27675%26meid%3Db174d5ca1c2c4fcb894e553b0ebd8c87%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D331450750354 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 In the right setting, it could look pretty cool. Like a high shelf in an old hot rod/hobby garage, surrounded by other cool antique stuff, dusty, oily, and all looking like it had been there forever.

lordairgtar Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 No kidding. I once saw someone selling air guitars, and people were bidding on them! I dont know which is worse, the selling of them, or the morons actually bidding. Air Guitars. LOL. I go by the name Lord Air Gtar in my mobile DJ business. Aside from the usual meaning, an air guitar can also be a prop guitar used at karaoke. I have several non functioning guitars for that purpose.

Atmobil Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My favorite was a jar of haunted pickles. There was also once some selling tin cans with Lucas Wiring Smoke kit that was supposed to have smoke in them that you could fill up the Lucas electrical system on your old british car when the old smoke had gotten out.....

Tom Geiger Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Back before eBay had user names, you could see everyone's email address. I bought a lot of 4 nasty old promos to get one I wanted for $20. I got lucky and nobody bid on them, probably due to lack of write up and poor photos. Turns out even the one I wanted was a bit nasty so I decided to resell them all. I wrote nice descriptions and took good photos. I listed each of them in their own separate auction. What do you know? Each one sold for over $20! The guy who sold them to me saw that and sent me a nasty email that I ripped him off and he was turning me into eBay! For what? Being a capitalist? LOL Nothing wrong with that old Pontiac promo. Someone took the time to list it instead of throwing it away. Someone is happy to buy it. Two happy people. End of story.

Roadrunner Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Asylums are full of folks that would anxiously buy this, assuming they're allowed to have money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
