Stopped at a flea market and saw something I liked, but it was going for auction later in the day. I went back and got this Maverick promo car for $10. Picked up 10 quarts of Castrol GTX for 14 and a great working Aiwa surround sound stereo for in the garage for $5.

That Maverick brings back memories! Back in 1970 the Maverick ad was $1999. Yea, you could buy one for two grand (well, sorta!). My great aunt got one. Hers was red like your promo. We went to visit her and the Maverick was in the driveway. I was 11 and all into cars and was enthusiastic on this Maverick. My aunt went to a drawer in her dining room and came back with a long narrow box. The dealer had given her a red Maverick promo! And she gave it to me. I remember riding home in the car with it on my lap, very happy to have it. That was like you gave me a million dollars!

Picked up an old AC Delco PCV service box. It has a nice patina and looks great in the garage along with the old hubcaps and signs and emblems. Also my son got me original Gremlin gas cap, looks good on the wall in the garage.
