  1. Well, they are now up for sale on Ebay if interested. We will see what happens......
  2. This is a match for sure from the same makers of my mold set. While the trunk is different, the hood/trunk ornaments are identical, as is the offset horizontal line on the rear fender. The only place I've ever seen that offset horizontal line on the fender is from molds like mine.
  3. This mold, (and the cars for sale labeled 1952) all have a split windshield down the middle. Here's another of the same car from the molds:
  4. Well I'm assuming that was the year, that's what other people selling this model have deemed it, so I'm not going to second guess them. I have seen the four door version, and swept back trunk "fleetline?" version as well. I need to start downsizing, and was on a mission to find the product of these molds before listing them for someone else to enjoy. I have no clue as to their worth. Me being into machining and metal work, I was fascinated by their quality of workmanship and construction, which is why I snagged them in the first place. :-)
  5. I came across this thread when searching for the toy car that some original mold patterns produced that I came across in an antique store years ago. After MUCH searching and asking questions anywhere I could find, finally with the help of the internet world the question has been solved! Have a look at the original mold patterns, amazing amount of work and skill making those molds. These molds made the PMC 1952 Chevy two door coupe promo bank! I now believe that this car below was indeed made in the molds I have. To my eye, every detail seems to match. Right down the to lower three faint horizontal lines on the rear fender under the main offset line. Hood and trunk emblem are perfect match, as are the door handles. The round injection holes match perfectly on the bottom, and notice the interior fender swells from the bottom. The front is rather round, but the rear is swept back quite a bit. The openings for the axle, and the surface steps toward the ends. Same as the mold: The front/rear bumper were separate pieces were added later:
