#464502 Diecast archeology: Ertl's early release Chevelle 454 SS

Needed a bath, too.
This one stood the test of time less well than the GTO 69.
Chrome problems in the front bumper.
And some rough spots on the paint, on the deck through the twin stripes, and on the front passenger fender.



Compared with ridiculous modern resins and MCG cheapos and such, the Ertl chassis were CMC level. :-D



Odd ring on the roof visible.
Pressure point of the car sitting above for 27 yrs?



Used polish and old wax and it came out rather ok.

























Odd that the same A-Body appears stubby with the Chevelle and sleek on the GTO.
Not a big fan of Chevy's sober colors while Ford and Mopar went wild in 1970.
