True or False?
My son-in-law got me a small plastic 1984 red Corvette that he said the dealers got to pass out when the C-4's came out in 1984. It is in a plain white box with, 1984 CORVETTE RED, printed on one end flap. The rear license plate say's 1984 on it. I have never heard of this before. If the dealers did have these no one has ever said so on the forum. That might make it kind of rare. It is in great shape. It is a little smaller than 1:24 SIZE.
True or False,Thanks.

Re: True or False? (RED84CF)
I have heard the story of them giving them away, but I can tell you, I had to buy all of mine. I have about 10 I think. I picked up 3 of them for $15.00 each at a Corvette show some years ago and they are worth $50.00 each now. Hang on to it. I wanted one to represent my '75 and they were asking $200.00. I don't need one that bad.
