In 1972-73, GM's Fisher Body Corporation issued a Golden Anniversary portfolio. In it was offered to all GM dealers this silver and gold commemorative scale model of the Fisher coach. The cost was $2,000 a piece. Only 1000 units were to be built, hallmarked and inscribed with the owner's personal registration number. The item was described as "what promises to be one of the most sought after collector items ever produced in a precious metal." I believe this is one of them. To my knowledge, there is no official record of how many were effectively built nor who bought them. In the last 30+ years I only ever saw one offered for sale ...at a price!
