wvsm Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I got this in the other day from some pickers and was wondering who made this? Was this a promo or an addition to a smith miller truck or other company? This is about 1/25th scale plastic and the bottom looks to be glued on.

Foxer Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Oh my! I'm partial to this as my first car was a '51 Plymouth. I've never seen a '52 wagon promo, but I'm NO expert on the matter. Sorry I can't help, but I'm sure interested. This thread explains my interest. If that was here, I'd hack that front end off in a second and patch it to the '50 body I have to model my first car!

Art Anderson Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 sorry here are some pics. Promotional model, made by PMC (Product Miniatures Company) out of Milwaukee. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 As "Guru" Art Anderson explained , Product Miniatures had these both as "Promomtionals" and as "Bagged ".98c kits in retail stores in the day. I have a resin copy I bought off Smart Resins Jody some time back. I had to scratch build the interior and a chassis . The colors are as stock as I could find according to some old P P G Charts I have . Now with one execption, I did a common "Dealer " move . In order to move a slow seller , I added a second color to the body which was commonly done in the fifties . I chose to use a common Black in the lower portion of the body. I hope this answers some questions as to this obsure piece of model history........... Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was just going to thank Art for that ... but it's more pleasure to WELCOME you back Ed! Hope you're feeling better and .. thanks for that Plymouth photo! I searched info on Product Miniatures and see they made one of the 51 Plymouth Cranbrook .. the car I had. It would be a nice start even if it's not so well done and it a bit large. I'm way too religious about 1/25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
