I worked was partner in Deb's Model Car Emporium on US 74 Matthews. Spectra was Bob Johnson and Co they had offices off South Blvd in Charlotte. The start of all this was the 500 Black die cast Thunderbirds we needed for a project. 500 alone was not viable coat wise so we decided to make alrger runs of the black and white.....making them affordable. Before the whole thing ended we did Pontiacs and Lumina too. Good old days....
