This is the classic all-original 1962  Ford Thunderbird Roadster Converible promo made by AMT. This ultra rare vintage annual issued promotional car was given away at Ford dealerships from the fall of 61 through the summer of 1962. Others were mailed from Ford to 1961 T-bird owners to show what the new ones looked like. Still others were sold at toy and hobby shops during this period. This car is rare in any color but scarce in dark metallic green. The whole car is molded in dark green plastic. The body is then sprayed with a factory clearcoat containing tiny metallic paint flakes. The resulting color matches "Cascade Green" which was available on the real cars. This model car has a working friction motor. This original unmodified 50 year old car has never been reissued. This car is factory molded in styrene cycolac plastic which has not and will never warp. This car is in good used condition. The tonneau top which once covered the back seat and the swing-away steering wheel are missing. The very shiny dark metallic green finish is scratch free. Someone made a few minor modifications at some point. There is one pin hole size mark on the top of the passenger rear fender where someone must have installed an antenna.at one time. The car must have been either clear-coated or polished to get this shiny. Most cars like this have had most or all of the metallic color worn off or faded to flat. Not this one. There is also a slight hint silver paint on the nameplates and rear hash marks  All vertical windshield and vent posts are complete, intact, and straight. The windshield bar and sunvisors are also perfect.  The glass is  scratch free and clear. The chrome bumpers have minimal bleed-through on the high points. The hubcaps have significant  chrome loss, especially on the passenger side. The secure taillights are still perfect. The matching dark green interior and glass have been out of the car. The factory installed melted washers have been removed for some reason. The interior is intact and nice except for the missing steering wheel. The matching dark green plastic chassis is perfect. The friction motor still works well. The secure chrome wheels roll straight on rust spotted axles. The white wall vinyl tires are still intact and soft. There is no box. A nice example of this vintage original 50 year old giveaway item in this scarce is a must for any Ford, convertible, model car, promo, or Thunderbird fan or collector.
