Is this a promo?

I've had this quite a wile but haven't been able to find anything on it. I don't even know the brand. It use to be a friction car so it have been given out as a promo? All I know is that it's a Corvette. 1959 or 1960? Thanks.

That matches one in my collection. These were made by PMC (Product Minitaures Corp)and were prone to warping. Should be a metal friction motor chassis with a flywheel. I have literally had mine for decades.

Thank you. The friction motor is missing but is in good shape otherwise. The roof is slightly warped. 1960?

Isn't the year on the license plate?

No it's not.

'59-'60 promos were SMP.  PMC probably produced those for the toy market.  The lack of dated license plates on actual promos was highly uncommon in those days.
