Chromed Plastic Experimental Sample


This is one of two plastic base prototypes that belonged to Roy Nakamura. The exact age and origin of the piece is indeterminate.

The body is die cast but the turbine engine and base are plastic. The plastic has been chromed but the wheels have no red stripes.
One speculative idea is that the casting was considered for a "promo" such as the cars that ended up in the "Wisconsin Toy Company".
This seems reasonable as the wheels, front and rear are redline "thru holes" which were used on the WTC cars
The lack of redlines is probably due to the availability of wheels in the model shop.
