Scuyler, you misquoted me - what I posted in Message 39771 was
"Ironically, this car was never offered by Mantua in Erie paint and lettering."
Mantua acquired the Lindberg tooling in the mid-1980s. If you go back and check their Walthers listings up to their shutdown, you'll see that MANTUA never offered this car in Erie. I'm sure at some point, Lindberg or whoever Mantua acquired the tooling from DID offer this car in Erie.
All very nice, Ben, but I had (note: HAD) a Mantua box with an ERIE decorated version contained within. The box was properly labeled. I no longer have either box or model.
