Re: Danbury Mint Is Back?
Now that I looked at the brochure a little more, and getting some memory back, maybe Danbury never went anywhere, but they stopped making diecast vehicles. I seem to remember it was an issue between them and the people making them over in you know where. I believe they wanted a big increase in cost that Danbury couldn't deal with. The brochure says "Produced exclusively For The Danbury Mint". Down in the corner are GM and Acme Trading Company logos. Tells about the GM logo and related body designs are GM trademarks used under license by Acme.
Anyway, look for it, the 1069 Chevrolet CST/10 in 1/18. Hugger Orange with white top, narrow whitewalls, wheelcovers. Really nice looking.
