Is it a bank??? I have a 50's something dodge cast metal about 1/25th scale it is also a coin bank.

No this was given away to potential customers or customers who bought a new 46 Dodge. As you can see its very interesting to look at and has great detail.

Interesting story goes along with my little Dodge. A friend of a friend had it and he sold it to me for $5 and then he said if I wanted the 5 back latter he would just give it to me. Ethically I got the car for almost free.

You did real good because those are not cheap when you find one. I've seen them on ebay time to time but could not justify buying one for the amount asked when I could get a part for the "big" Dodge. Even the prices of those are cheap compared to the "toy boy" cars that were offered not long ago. Remember those? The highly collectables.... .

Very cool promo model you have there!

Out of general interest: Does any one know, when were the first promo models made/given in the States?

I suppose that in the fifties there were promos for each & every make & model presented by the dealers?

Do they do that still today in the States?

(Not in Europe any more, at least not in my price class...)

I just bought this Tootsie Toy on Ebay.

It's supposedly a 41 Chrysler.

My 8-year old son and I are going to file off those fender mounted side lights, strip it and repaint it in sumac red.

Silver details to grille, lights and bumpers and a red and silver interior and it'll look quite a lot like a certain P15 convertible!!!

The big wreck!!!!!! 41 Plymouth versus 46 Dodge!
