I will be selling my extra Convention cars here:
ebay.com/usr/mr.grooves
Hot Wheels Steam Punk Truck, 4,000 produced. It appears that the model designation is FPN09 but the back of the card shows FPN24
The dinner is an extra event costing $128 to attend and comes with one free stickered model. We could buy extras after dinner. $35 each or three for $100.
Convention Souvenir cars available for purchase ($29 each, plus tax)
6,000 produced for each model. Paid attendees were allowed to buy three of each but for the Sunday Show, we got an hour head-start on an opportunity to buy more, limited to one of each, but we could get back in line. I was lucky and got two more Datsuns. I already had plenty of the Mercury Comet. OK, my kids were in line too and they got two more Datsuns each as well.
#1 of 3, Datsun 510 Wagon
#2 of 3, '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone (Peppermint Twist)
Finale model, one free per paid attendee. We could pre-pay for an extra Finale car (before we knew what it would be) for $35. This was only the second time that they had ever allowed us to pre-purchase an extra Finale car and it was reported to be the last time.
#3 of 3, '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser, 4,500 produced
To get Matched-Number Sets, we paid $216 which meant that we committed to buying our full-card, three of each souvenir sight unseen. We did not know what the cars were going to be (Datsun Wagon, Mercury Comet)
