About the only collectible I've got that is in the absolutely-will-not-sell category are my Chevrolet dealer promotional models. Just about the complete set from 1953 through 1965, heavy on 63-65 Corvettes. Dad was a Chevrolet dealer up until the end of the '65 model year, and of course he got out of the business eight months before my 16th birthday
.
Often wonder if that didn't have something to do with it.
