Description: One of the FIRST kits off the production line at MOEBIUS MODELS - You are buying directly from the owner of the real car! ALL PROFITS are being donated to the DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS (DAV) and THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT (WWP) Once these are sold, there will be NO MORE. GUARANTEED to be one of the first 300 model kits of the 1955 Chrysler C-300 produced by Moebius Models of Glenwood, Florida in 2012. These models were delivered to me personally by the President of the company, Frank Winsper, in April of 2012. We sat at my dining room table and signed each numbered Certificate of Authenticity ourselves throughout the afternoon. My signature appears on the bottom of each kit, along with the respective number ("### of 300"). Each kit is registered to the first purchaser. Your name will go on the OWNER REGISTRY as the first owner of this numbered kit. (Of course, this information is NEVER distributed to anyone except the owner of the kit - be they original or subsequent.) The photos depict an open kit - #275. This is done only to show you what is inside of each box. You will receive a sealed, unopened kit. Only the bottom corner of the cellophane wrapping has been peeled back so that I can sign and number each one. The remainder of the seal is intact and the model has never been opened. The last photo is that of the real car that still resides in my climate-controlled garage. The car has quite a history that began when it was issued from the Chrysler Corporation to Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Yankees, in May of 1955. It was subsequently given to Hall-of-Fame outfielder, Enos "Country" Slaughter who owned and drove it for 8 years. He sold it to Leonard Shultis of Halcottsville, NY in 1963. Mr. Shultis stored the car in a 3-story barn with several other old cars. This is where the car remained until I bought it in 2003. The real car was shown or displayed at several hundred venues in the Cincinnati, Ohio - Kentucky, Indiana region from 2003 to 2005; then, here in Florida at various locations from 2006 to 2014. It has won hundreds of awards, ribbons, trophies and accolades and is registered with the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) "Historical Preservation of Original Features" (HPOF) class. It has been featured in several magazines such as "American Icons"; "Street Thunder"; and "Antique Automobile" and the inside of the trunk is signed by several automobile and baseball celebrities such as: Don Garlits; Chip Foose; Geoff Bodine; Jack Roush; Bob Tullius; Laurence Gartel; Pete Rose; Wayne Carini; Dennis Gage; Sir Stirling Moss; Bobby Allison; Brock Yates; Hurley Haywood; Brian Redman; Lyn St. James; Ford Heacock....among others. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ At this time, the following numbers are available for purchase: (If you do not specify a number requested with your purchase (use the message section when making payment, or just send a message through "contact the seller"), I will send the lowest number available) - THIS LIST WILL BE UPDATED WITH EVERY PURCHASE. 021028029030031032036038041042044054056057058059060061150152153157160161169 through 203208 through 249251252253254257 through 274276 through 298 WATCH FOR THE UPDATES TO THIS LIST WITH EVERY PURCHASE.
