USA Models #2 1955 Chrysler Imperial
*Description*
USA Models #2 1955 Chrysler Imperial. Beautiful, mint condition. While it does not come with the original box, I have provided a very similar packaging with bespoke labels for safety in shipping and storage.
*Flaws*
Flawless, no issues that I can see.
*History*
I have been collecting 43rd scale models and toys since the 60s, first as a child, then later as an adult. While my early years were ...consumed by a love for Dinkys and Corgis, my adult tastes led me to collecting rare and collectible white metal and resin kits. I have reached the age when my concerns now are to not leave my kids with a garage full of toys that they have no understanding or knowledge of in regards to value or desirability. It's now time to pass these keepsakes to another generation. Many of the models are standard issue and can be found in plentiful numbers on eBay, so while some may want to hold out for the greatest return, my desire is to simply sell the toys. In that vein I will attempt to price the toys realistically and provide a rare opportunity for folks to grab a desired model at a friendly price. I encourage communication and will entertain any offers. If you've got a good story and will provide the toy a good home, I will be very liberal. If you're a dealer just looking for a steal and a quick turnaround, I'll be less likely to wheel and deal.
*Process: My Standards*
I am a perfectionist. I go to great efforts to assure that your purchase experience will be without issues. Firstly, this is not a business; this is a hobby. I want the entire experience to be fun. I would like to make new friends and establish good relationships as I set about selling a 3000 toy collection. I plan on doing this for the next 5 years, minimum, and want it to be fulfilling and enjoyable. The same care that is exercised in the quality of the photographs is carried through in the response time to questions, packaging and shipping, and immediate turn around in fulfilling your purchase. I want to be your favorite seller and will go to great lengths to insure that your experience will be A+++. I am opening sales to an international market, making shipping charges always a bit of a guess beforehand, so, please, if your purchase exceeds one model, or if you are an overseas customer, please wait for an invoice. I will box up the multiple order, weigh it and provide an invoice that reflects exact shipping charges. I ship Priority Mail only, as a practice. If you would prefer a lower cost First Class service, please let me know before paying and I will calculate the lower shipping charge and send you an invoice. First Class service is only available on <1 lb. packages. If, for any reason you are charged an amount that exceeds exact cost of shipping, I will refund any overpayment.
Many of the models that I will be selling are in excess of 40 years old and are extremely delicate models, both resin and white metal, with very tiny, delicate parts. Some of the photo etched pieces are hair thin and looking crosseyed at a model will cause something to fall off or break. I damaged two models beyond repair just photographing them (all thumbs!). To that end I will take extreme care in packaging the toys, making every effort to get it to you safely. For each model I will describe any and all flaws that I can see so that there are no surprises. While most of the collection is pristine, many have been displayed and mishaps happen, so if there is anything that I can see that prevents the toy from being 100%, I will make note of it. For the handy ones out there, repairs are pretty straightforward and many of the manufacturers are still in business and can provide spare side mirrors, taillights and hood ornaments. A very small percentage of the models no longer have their original packaging. In those cases, I have provided a dedicated storage box with bespoke labels that will offer safe storage for your prized model.
If you see any glaring mistakes in identifying a model or have knowledge as to when the model was made or any interesting facts, please feel free to write me and I will make corrections or add info. I want to be accurate and am not an expert, just a guy who has always loved toy cars. I hope these toys will bring you as much joy as they have for me all these many years! Have fun bidding and best of luck to all!
