Default Promos for Sale $20 Each

I am doing some cleaning and I have several promos to sell. Asking $20 each plus $8 shipping. If you buy multiple cars, I will combine shipping to reduce your fees.

Most of the cars have never been displayed and they are in like-new condition.

Thanks,
George

As long as there have been cars, there have been car dealers. But dealerships did not have the money or space to keep an example of every model in every color for buyers to choose from. This is why Promotional cars, commonly referred to as Promo or Annual cars were introduced as a selling tool. While automakers have always made small replicas of their cars, the 1950s and 60s are considered the heyday. Starting around 1950, US automakers began making highly detailed plastic miniature versions of their new car lines, in every body and color combination. These were released the same day as the new model year cars were & typically displayed in cases within the showroom. This was a two pronged strategy to get more people in for test drives, the other being that well behaved kids could get a free toy car if their parents seemed sincerely interested in purchasing the actual car.

That is a killer deal! Damn, I can't believe no one has jumped on it. I have way too many cars already, and might get in trouble...
How much for all?
