**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Up for auction is a vintage 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood custom slot car, an iconic collectible that embodies the charm and style of the golden age of racing. This unique piece features an off-white plastic body that shows significant surface dirt, scuffs, and age-related yellowing, adding to its character. The chrome-plated parts, including bumpers and trim, exhibit wear and pitting, while the front bumper shows a slight bend on the driver's side. The clear plastic windows are scuffed but intact, maintaining the overall aesthetic of this vintage racer. The chassis is a custom-built metal frame, displaying tarnish and signs of modification, indicative of the DIY spirit of the era. While the motor and wiring are present, their functionality is untested, making this a project piece for enthusiasts. The aged rubber tires show some wear, and the front wheels appear slightly misaligned. The body is free of major cracks or breaks, which enhances its collectible value. This Cadillac model, likely made by AMT or Jo-Han as a promotional piece, represents the 1960s slot car racing culture and is a must-have for any serious collector. Take advantage of this opportunity to own a piece of automotive history!

If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
