I have been purchasing some of these models and received a recent promotion for
1937 Chevy Pickups (of which I had a good one with headers, big valves, etc in
the 50's) and they show it with being standard with a 206 CI Chevy motor which I
think is a Crock since all the ones we had had 216's. I wrote tham about this
and no response so far.. I will be looking for more accuracy in models after
this. We have many full sized trucks in our collection and certainly do not
need
inaccuracy in our models.
Sincerely,
Dave Shier
