from the "Jim Inglese Danbury Mint" Vault Collection

• This collection of 300 models was purchased directly from Danbury Mint by Jim Inglese, former head designer and prototype modeler (with final artist proof authority) for The Danbury Mint's Rod & Customs program. He opened these models for inspection only and then placed them in DRY climate-controlled storage in their original boxes and were never displayed.

• Paint finish is mint with no dust, smoke, or sun exposure. Our vintage-NOS condition #1 or #2.

• Most of this collection does not include title or care instructions (Danbury employees were not provided paperwork).

• Mint to excellent condition original boxes that show they were properly stored.

• Most models have door, hood & trunk protectors, interior foam blocks and protective tissue inside the styrofoam as delivered when they were new.

• This is an original-owner, first generation collection from a former diecast designer of the Danbury Mint and the owner of Jim Inglese Weber Carburetion, a "car guy" hot rod company.
