From pressing a chronograph pusher to watching the smooth sweep of a seconds hand, there’s something to be said about watching a mechanical object put into motion.

A model car evokes a very similar feeling. It beckons you to glide it across a table, to open its doors to get a closer look at its detailed interior and to pop the hood revealing a carbon copy engine. There’s an element of playfulness between the two — a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Whether it’s watches, model cars or anything vintage, it’s the tactile experience that keeps us in the moment, and it’s what we love about all analog things.

Dealer promo cars aren't toys per se, but rather collectable miniatures licensed to model kit companies or toy makers by automotive brands which were sold, or gifted, through their dealership network to clients past or prospective. These miniature vehicles would serve to encourage continued enthusiasm about their products long after a visit to the dealership or a test drive. 

This particular dealer promo model is made in likeness to the 1965 Ford Mustang. It features a Wimbledon White exterior with the classic first-generation Mustang design cues including chrome accents on the grille, bumpers, and sequential taillights. The interior features loads of fine detailing.

Measuring approximately 7"x 2 1/2" x 2" , it has more than enough presence to be eye-catching, but is subtle enough to fit into any display space, signaling your appreciation for the original American sportscar icon to any observer.  This awesome vintage find is in outstanding condition throughout and also includes its original box packaging and pamphlet from the Ford dealership addressed to one Mr. Haus of Cumberland, MD.

Pony up!
