MichHouseReps Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I was at a swap-meet earlier today and saw a vendor selling a Buick Reatta1/24 scale assembled model. I do not know who makes these, as it was not identified on the box. The box is white and has a red coupe on it. Doesanyone know anything about these? -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jet843 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I bought a 1/24 model on ebay. It is a neat little model.The seller claims these were promos given to the employees at the Lansing Plant. Not sure if this is a true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 The red plastic model was apparently made by the car load. I talked to a sales rep in Troy MI that said he had a warehouse full of them up to about two years ago and GM pulled them. I think they sold them very cheap to someone in bulk.The other rare Reatta is a 5 inch long pewter model with high detail. I have attempted to trace the manufacturer and continually run into dead ends. All of the companies that make pewter models deny making that one.Then there was a Kenny Bernstein Reatta "funny car" model that barely looks like a Reatta.And I too wondered what happened to the radio controlled Reatta that was hyped by the guy in California. Did he ever make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
