I have MANY of these Promo Cars!❤️

[@timarthur9425]

Awesome collection thanks for sharing.

[@mauriciovega7446]

OMG!!!! Love the promo collection , thank you for show this treasures!!

[@gojoe2833]

My budget doesn't allow me to buy most mint-in-box promos, but I enjoy buying derelict promos and fixing them up!

[@robertphillips6296]

AMT, stood for Aluminum Model Toys. This is because when they started out making them they were in Metal and after about two years they changed to plastic.

[@franciscochagoyan5860]

EXCELENTE COLECCION 👌👌👍✌

[@cookcars1]

What a collection! I watched your most recent promo video and had to watch this one again. This may have been the 3rd time. There's something about the promos.

[@toycarcollector]

Promos are beautiful and easy to relate too. I like the early 60's regular cars best because it makes me think that life was simple then which it was. Only we did not know it! Cars were beautiful back then with chrome and pattern fabrics and colors. As long as you did not get in a serious wreck. There was no walking away from a head on collision. I think muscle car promos are neat too but those are too expensive for my taste. Anyway I got my collection at an auction where there were at least a thousand promos and the other dealers and collectors were focused on the high dollar resale models. So I got all mine at a third of the value at the time. I still pick up a nice promo here or there and these 4 cost $220 total so a very good price. Too bad the boxes were toast.

[@cookcars1]

@@toycarcollector I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for some more of these. You are right, they are a glimpse into a simpler time. Thanks for the reply.

[@LouisSantos-vu4kr]

Loved the 61 impala, 63 nova wagons, 61 pontiac tempest,65 grand prix, 65 Cadillac, wow.

[@christesta7553]

Excellent collection. I have a few of the ones you have. Your collection by far is the best I've seen.

[@t.g.2716]

Yes indeed, A close friend has two of those promo models I believe was given to him from a brother, Yes they are keepers🚗🛻

[@giltracy505]

[@promoguy1000]

Wow what a awesome collection I my self collect these I have well over 400+ I have been into promos since I was 10 years old I have all of the big three but also oddballs that you don't see everyday

[@nicolasrossi5978]

Nice to see some of your other collecting interests. Thanks for sharing these.

[@deepjunkgarage]

Very nice collection of clean promo models !🍻

[@billycooper59]

Buicks ? Lincoln ? Desoto ? Mercury ? Your Marlin, Valiants, and Pontiacs are my favorites !

[@dmiller1000]

I have a bunch of 1960s era Matchbox, Corgi, and 1/25 promo models as well as a few kits I built. As I got older, I like the bigger cars and loved the detail on the promos. Don't really know what to do with them all - I'd like to see them go to a collector/dealer. Gotta catalog and photograph them.

[@michaelreece458]

Very, very nice. Looks like an actual miniature car showroom. I have so many I've collected over the decades...they are packed away in 2 closets, not nearly as nice though as your originals....Modelhaus was a good friend for many years. That is a beautiful collection you have there, thanks for sharing. How many did we destroy as kids?

[@garypayne2157]

Nice collection Dave! There were numerous ones there I would love to own.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Nice house you have and sweet collection! I have a similar situation with model kits from 60s thru 2000s, I rotate and occasionally rotate on display. I've sold all I'm gonna sell though as I've grown sick of Ebay

[@Dave_Boyer]

Very nice collection, those Mavericks look pretty nice. I’ve got a few. Years ago I bought a good sized model collection which had quite a few promos mixed in. Probably the Best Buy I ever had, packed in with it was a Aurora Bat Mobile.

[@Kjk_808]

0:51 lol I thought you were backing up into another car but it was really just a train driving past you 😂

[@electrichellion5946]

We had an LTD version as kids. Just one. Well loved. Probably gone now.

[@JuniorFan08]

Nice collection. I have mine on shelves in three rooms of the house. It would drive me nuts to have them all packed away in boxes but it is a pain to keep them clean. This summer, I purchased two glass display cases from a local jeweler who was closing up shop. My goal is to eventually house my collection in them.

[@toycarcollector]

I have an air compressor in the area of the toy room and if you blow the dust off regularly the stay nice. Its long term dust that seems to stick. Love those promos.

[@jamessylaire9141]

Thank you for your video...i'm a close follower and i always warch your videos. Thank you! I love toy cars too and just started a little little mini collection. I don't really know much about toy cars but i love them! I did enjoy. Looking foward to receiving other vids from you. Good job!

[@toycarcollector]

Thank you! Now that my other computer is repaired I should be getting back on schedule. More videos soon.

[@jamessylaire9141]

Wuao amazing biutifol love the promo collection

[@cuda426hemi]

You need my '67 Bonneville. How many Mopars would you give up for it? You won't find another '67 big Poncho. 👀

[@mr99boxer30]

WOW ! You have a very nice collection of promo models. You have some very rare modes too. Please keep a core selection and don't sell all of your cars. They are easy to store. Thanks for a very entertaining model car video.! Cheers !

[@michaelvaldez204]

I collect these and always wondered are they worth anything??? I get the promos because I just love them and some I tear apart and restore

[@toycarcollector]

All promos are worthy of collecting. Most average models with boxes are $80 to $150. Models without boxes are half that and used ones are $20 to $40 on average. Anything broken is a parts car. Then there are the cream of the crop models like Mopar Muscle and the Riviera and Imperial and some other scarce colors, those are spendy!

[@waynebanner6031]

great video as usual dave love the dodge chargers

[@mr99boxer30]

/// COLLECTORS HINT /// To prevent your old plastic model cars from warping keep the cars in an enclosed glass case or in their sealed original box. Any air movement across the plastic tends to make the plastic want to warp and try to return to it's original flat manufactured state. Preventing air movement is the key. Even solids are fluid in this world. So to keep the beautiful lines and designs of your cars, keep them under glass and safe. An easy tip to do and save your collection for generations to come ! Cheers !

[@mikemyers6233]

Thx for the tip. I have several promos. I didn't know about open air.

[@herksmodelworks165]

That is the most ridiculous bunch of bullshit I've ever heard. The way you describe it seems you think these bodies are stamped out of flat plastic like real cars made of steel. They are injection molded from liquid styrene which was probably in a pellet form prior to melting it . I hope they don't start turning into plastic pellets.

[@rustyshackleford3978]

@@herksmodelworks165 Your response is much more ridiculous, and higher in bullshit value. Do your homework before firing ignorance with both barrels at innocent victims. Promo models were NOT made of polystyrene. Promo models were made of acetate, which at that time was more suited to the promotional attributes of the models; acetate molded well, was very tough and GLOSSY right out of the mold, important because promos were not painted, and the glossy finish added realism. Acetate has distinctly different properties and breaks down differently than styrene. You don't understand half what you think you know.

[@herksmodelworks165]

@@rustyshackleford3978 styrene or acetate either way they're injection molded. I called bullshit about him saying that the plastic was trying to return to a flat state. It was never flat in the first place, so understand what you read before you start running your mouth.

[@johnpitts9836]

Are you still going to sale any of your promotion models?

[@davidleroux1995]

Hi, do you know if there was a promo model for the Lincoln Mark IV?? Thanks!

[@toycarcollector]

Someday when I have more time I will part with some of my models. Currently they are in the closet mostly like they have been for the last 20 years or so. Thank you www.toycarcollector.com

What kind of models they are what kind of model cars they are

[@crushingvanessa3277]

I bought a Johan 58 Caddy and it has slight warping that should be repairable. Any idea how to repair the body? Run under hot water?

[@CycolacFan]

Crushing Vanessa3 once they're warped they stay warped, even if you heat it and somehow get it straight it will warp again. All you can do is store it in an airtight bag away from light to prevent it getting worse.

[@crushingvanessa3277]

@@CycolacFan you speak from experience. The car I have isn't to bad, I'm going to try cast it in resin.
