<VV> 1/43 scale Fitch Phoenix Model

[FrankCB]

     Yikes!  I've bought REAL Corvairs for less than that and drove them home.  Course it was only a dozen or so miles and it was a "FEW" years ago!!!<GGGG>

What it says: 
1966 Fitch-Phoenix (Corvair based) 
John Fitch originally intended to produce a run of 500 vehicles but the 
Traffic Safety Act of 1966 was passed into law which forced Fitch to put 
production on hold. Plus the fact that GM was to shortly cease building 
Corvairs so the Phoenix never went into production. The two fender humps 
were designed to house two spare tires. Production of this model is expected 
to be 150. Each of the 150 will be mounted in a display case with engraved 
and serially numbered plaque and separate certificate autographed by John 
Fitch. At this price they are expected to sell quickly so it is imperative 
that you place your pre-order TODAY. Of course not a penny will be charged 
to your card until the model is shipped probably after the first of the 
year. Expected to be priced at $199 to $229
