Each example was produced for one year, then discontinued when the new models came out. This comprehensive book will appeal to promotional vehicle collectors, toy collectors, and automobile and truck buffs alike!. This new book presents a complete list of promotional cars and trucks, including manufacturer and current value, in a model-by-model chart. For this reason, and their appeal to the car lover in general, promotionals have a popularity enjoyed by comparatively few collectibles. The charts are heavily illustrated with over 500 beautiful color photos, showing the full range of vehicles available. Promotional cars and trucks are miniature vehicles used by car and truck dealerships and manufacturers to promote the sale of their vehicles
Good, despite the inherent problems of price guides which become obsolete probably within the year. Nevertheless, this is a good guide for what is and is not available, a price or value relative to another model, or what was ever made in the first place. It's obsolete by now as a price guide (one look at eBay will tell you that), but a comprehensive guide to the hobby.. No Mention of Later Promo Car History Karl D. Spence This is a great book but it would have been nice if the author (since it was printed in 2001) had at least mentioned why 1983 was the cutoff date. There were promo cars made after that -I have a number of them. If one does a history chapter it should end when the book was published ,not nearly 20 years before.. cruisekid said Collector. Enjoyed adding this to my library. Good book. Great service so all-in-all I am very pleased to have the book.
