I recieved the rest of my Malibu International order last week. I recieved approx 1,000 cars in single paks, 5 paks and the car w/ caravan. There were 29 different models, I'll put up a list of them here if anyone wants to know what they are? Most of the models were evenly distributed as far as quantity, the models ranged from 2-5 colors each. There were a couple things that caught my attention. I noticed that some of colors were only in one of the types of packaging but not in any of the others.
1. The VW kafer (bug) had 5 different colors, I only recieved 1 in the color yellow, there were plenty of quantities of the other colors.
2. I always thought the real Chevy Bel Air had a 2 tone paint job. The upper rear quarter panels (fins) and the roof was one color (usually white) and the rest of the body was another color and I thought the regular Chevy (non-Belair) was just a solid color?
3. I do have 3 or 4 colors of the Belairs in the 2 tone paint job but there is also have some Belairs with a Black roof over solid red and Belairs with a White roof over solid red (fins red). I also have the 2 tone yellow Belair and some white roof over solid yellow Bel Air (fins yellow). Was it common for Chevy to paint Bel Airs like that in 1955?
I don't think any of the above is anything rare, I was just curious about it.
