quality is actually very good. the glass sits basically on tabs in the roof like any model. seems it was just pushed on and that's why it fits funny.

Yeah those are cool.I have 4 of those promo models,2 '92 Z28s,1 '82 and 1 '83.Actually the quality/accuracy bodywise is pretty good(except that the tail lights are all red),windows on mine sit flush. For the interiors though they use the same for all years minus the steering wheels,which are correct,but nicely detailed.

Re: the models

Here is some pics of mine. Got it off of ebay and don't remember how much I gave for it but I do remember that it was more than I wanted to. It was jade green and I repainted it, detailed all the lights and got a 67 Vette model for the hood to look like mine. Kinda sad that my model has a better paint job than my full size car. Does anyone know what scale these models are?

pretty sure its 1/24 and you can find them all day on ebay... all kinds of colors. They are pretty poor quility and detail. they were supposedly dealer promos, used to give them out when you bought one, so they say, we didnt get one when we bought the 89...

I want one but cant justify the money they want for such poor quality and detail.

Re: the models

i posted pictures so you should be able to know wether they are similar or not to what you have seen. for the price they are you can't expect carpeted interior and color correct pieces. however, the detail is there and surprisingly they are very detailed.

i have three black, two teal and one red 92 left if anyone wants one let me know.
