Hi everyone,

To clarify the situation:

The 1:64 2006 Corvette Z06 Indy 500 and Daytona 500 pace cars have indeed been pulled from the Pace Car Garage Series 2 assortment. The assortment will be released as a four car set.

The 1:64 2006 Corvette Z06 Indy 500 pace car will be available to all GreenLight dealers in solid packed cases. You will find all GL dealers selling these items at an $8.99 retail price point due to licensing agreements. They will not be able to discount the price at the retail level.

The 1:64 2006 Corvette Z06 Daytona 500 pace car has been canceled entirely.

Thanks,

-Matt

Does that also mean a change for the 1:24 Indy pace car, or is that still on as planned?

The 1/24 scales are still good to go. :-)

Very cool. Not that I need anything more to collect, but I've been looking forward to each new Corvette Indy pace car.

Well ... even at nine bucks the 1/64 Indy Pace car Vette looks pretty sweet. Too bad about the Daytona 1/64th...
