<VV> Early Model Kit (Premier)

[Gary Swiatowy]

Yes, quite familiar with that kit.
I have 2 of them complete, plus an empty box, and a couple of the individual
kits.
Premier was a small time operation cranking out model kits of various types.
Not noted for spot on accuracy, they were of course a toy manufacturer.
The American compacts set of four kits comes up on e-bay every now and
again. Don't pay attention to which car was which color, as they were not
very consistent on which color they used on a particular kit. In fact,
several of their kits have multi color bodies, kind of a marble finish.

Personally, I love their box art.

Any e-bay search for Premier kits will show some are very valuable, some not
so much.
Just saw 3 out of 4 of those kits from that set at a swap meet last weekend,
partially assembled, asking price was $15 each. The Falcon was missing.

Just saw this come and go on Ebay a few minutes ago.  4 kits in one box.
Box description says "American Compacts" and "4 complete models".  Includes
Corvair, Comet, Falcon, and Valiant, each kit molded in a different color,
red, gray, black, & pink.  Not sure which is which but the Corvair appears
to be the pink one.  Made by Premier Prod Co., Brooklyn NY
