<VV> Corvair Lakewood & 1960 Cream Corvair Dealer Promo on eBay ?

[Charles Lee]

Apparently Clarence Young is at it again if I'm not mistaken ?

The so-called Lakewood 'promo' may be a built-up resin model ?

Now he has a 1960 Cream Corvair Dealer Promo in his own box that appears to 
be a built 1960 Corvair kit ?
Notice the hub caps and straight lines, not to mention color, make it a kit, 
not a promo ?

With his history of selling models, I'd think he'd know the difference, but 
unaware buyers may be more easily fooled than we are ?

I remember buying a 1960 Corvair model from Cheerios back then, for 50 
cents, and it came in a plain white box and no custom parts, but was the 
'kit' type plastic, but might be considered a 'promo' ?
