until I found it at the Hershey flea market today. (Darn good thing, too... the crappy weather ran all the vendors off before I got there. All I came home with was this and an old Stomper 4X4 that doesn't work... but I digress...)

Anyway, there it was in a box of old carded Ertls...

Kinda cool, huh? The back of the card has pics of a bunch of other Corgi cars including the S&H Torino and the Batmobile. The dilemma, of course, is that I'm really tempted to open it...

hate to sound stupid... but what kind of car is that? i want to believe its either a monte carlo because f the opera window shades... but front end tell me buick.... but i could be completly out of the ball park :P

1978 or 1979 Dodge Charger - it was a variant to the Chrysler Cordoba.

It almost looks like a Continental to me.

Dodge Magnum. Same personal-luxury coupe idea as Monte Carlos and Regals, with a long hood and a short trunk Funny, I just noticed that it doesn't say Magnum anywhere on the card, just the number 93. The car has Dodge Magnum on the base, or I might have thought Chrysler Cordoba.

Yeah, there were a bunch of Mopars that looked just like this in the mid-to-late 70's: Cordoba, Dodge Coronet and Charger and Monaco Coupe, Plymouth Fury and Road Runner...

I was going to say that I thought I rember that being either a Magnum or a Cordoba but couldn't remember which.

Nice piece!!
