CRAGSTAN 1966 Crown Convertible Diecast Toy at eBay

[Mike Friedman <walrusmk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those of us with one of the 514 1966 convertibles built (or those
who would like to own one but don't have the space or finances), there's
an unusual diecast toy on eBay right now.  It is being offered by a
dealer in Vienna and is listed as being made by "CRAGSTAN".  I have
never heard of this company or toy (only the Corgi with the golfer &
clubs), so I was pretty blown away to see it - HOWEVER - if what we see
in the pictures is what it is then MY '66 Crown convertible is better
than mint!  Needless to say, it's pretty soggy as far as I can tell.
Looks like it has been poorly masked and re-painted (by Earl Scheib),
damage to new paint, chromework looks misaligned at both ends and the
wheel covers are DEFINITELY not original!  8^)   A daily driver at best,
a parts donor at worst.  See it at

fun bidding!!
