Two bucks? That's the original price from 1960! Nice work on those!

I once was at a hobby shop and the owner had me follow him through the back room. I spied a stack of 5 Johan '62 Studebaker convertibles on a shelf. I stopped and asked about them. The owner said that was old stuff nobody wanted, so I asked how much. He thought for a minute and said, "Give me $20 for the stack." I quickly reached for my wallet! And that was a double what you just paid! LOL

Good for you!!! I'm very happy for you and your find! Sometimes we get lucky but that is happening less and less these days with the old stuff 'cause it just isn't out there any more like it used to be. They look great and it's good to know that a few more were saved from the landfill. :D:D:D

Thank you all for the nice comments. I always make it a point to stop at old hardware stores. When I was a kid growing up in suburban Chicago, I found some of my best car model finds at these places. Now living in New Jersey, there's a whole lot more to explore. Think outside the box, they're out there.

BTW I also got the 59 Dodge and 56 Plymouth, Bought everyone they had.
