Default Corvette promo models

Does anyone collect promo models anymore? I have a bunch of duplicates that I would like to sell. I have several 1980 through late 1990's. If there is anything special that you are looking for, let me know. Thanks, Don.

I used to until I discovered the 1:18 diecasts. I have seen some of the new promos and they are so much better now that it might be worth a second look.

At this time I have 75 Corvette promos. I have an origional 53/54 (can't really tell the year), on up to 2007. They have come a long way in detail comparing the 53/53, to the 07.

I have a few I need to get out and cleaned up. Mostly late 70s and early 80s. Once I get them organized I would be interested in filling in the gaps that I have to get a complete set.

Anyone know how to get on the list to get the new models sent each year?

By promo's I assume you mean Corvette models released by GM? (correct me if I'm wrong).
What scale are these?

In either case, if you have any 1999-2000 FRC's, I'd be interested in them...

Thanks...

You may know this by now, but the difference between the 53 and 54 is that the 53 had blackwall tires and the 54 had whitewall tires. I still have both years that were given to me in 53 and 54. Have since sold most of my collection retaining only a few to match the real corvettes that we have owned. Gods Grace

Thanks for that information. I now know mine is a 1953, it has blackwall tires.
