keiser31 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Apparently, when the Chinese copied this car for a model of the 1926 Chevrolet, they thought the orange turn signals under the bumper were original equipment and added them to the die cast model....hahahahahahahaha.

john2dameron Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Those Chinese make many mistakes when they are making die cast models. One thing they do is make a model for a certain year and it did not even exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 A few years back a friend went to Korea to see about having some dies made for reproduction pickup parts. While touring the factory he said they showed him the making a die to stamp out repro fenders. The part that he had a hard time grasping was that the fender was damaged in the system at some point and they were copying the damage in the die. Never having seen this part or the vehicle it went on before they did not know the difference. Ha said he never said a word to them about It not wanting to get involved. And we wonder why offshore parts are a tough fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 You'd think whoever owns the original car pictured would have to be flattered by this error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillP Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Are Franklin Mint cars made in China? I have a very good model of my '39 (avatar). It's even red and black just like the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozstatman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Or, if you want the real thing rather than a model, there's this one in the Buy/Sell Forum! http://forums.aaca.org/topic/294694-1926-chevrrolet-landau-superior/ Edited June 30, 2017 by Ozstatman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
