Plymouth Promo Model Collection

Other 1970 Cuda colors are Rallye Red and Lime Light. Note the whitewall tires on all '70 Cuda's. Just like the real cars! The blue car is one of my nicest. Mint car, crisp clean box, and decals and factory tissue paper.

Of the seven purple Mopar promos (1970/1971 Challenger, 1970/1971 Charger, 1971 Duster, and 1970/1971 Cuda) I have four. The finish on this one is not as good as my other three. There are a couple of small paint imperfections on the passenger side, and one on the roof.

One of the things I find odd about the ’70 Plymouth promos are the whitewall tires. Both the Cudas (MPC) and the GTX’s (Jo-Han) have them. Plymouth must have specified these for all of their promos that year. When was the last time you saw a ’70 Cuda with rally wheels and whitewalls? And why the plain boxes? 1969 GTX's had very cool boxes. '70 should have been as well.

 I've also often wondered why Plymouth chose to make '69 and '70 GTX's instead of Roadrunners. The Roadrunners far outsold the GTX's. The other available color for 70 GTX's was Lime Green Metallic.

The Bahama Yellow car came in the generic red white and blue 1970 Johan dimestore box.  Bahama Yellow ("Butterscotch" for Dodge) is an odd color, not seen on the real cars until 1971, but I kind of like it. Very conservative. Like a true gentleman's musclecar should be! The retail or "dime store" cars were also available in a non-metallic light blue (molded car-not painted). There are also some white cars floating around with "Drivers Education" stickers. If you have one with the box I'd love to see it.
