I have a motion camaro I bought back in sept. I just bought another to paint up like my car. I noticed that the one I just bought doesn't have the silk screened Cragar logos on the centercaps like my old one does. Is this a factory oversight? Or did ERTL lose the right to print Cragar on the wheels.
Which car should I disassemble and paint?
I'm realy not into the whole collector thing but I'd hate to shoot myself in the foot if ones more valuable than the other someday.

I'd have to say it's an ERTL oversight. I've seen a few of these cars on eBay where the front tire is a Goodyear and the back is a Firestone. Maybe there will be some quality control positions opening up at ERTL soon.....
>>>> For what it's worth, I just saw an auction on eBay where the seller claims that ERTL made an error by putting the Crager wording on the rims. Here's the auction info if you want to check it out and maybe e-mail the seller.

You might send an E-Mail to the Tazman he has a friend thats a dealer in ERTL. tazman@waveone.net is his address i e-mailed him awhile back with a question but i'm not sure if he ever answered it. Maybe i didn't make myself known well enough in title. Hell i don't answer/open the ones that i don't know either. So specify where your from and then tell him i've got a question if you do reach him. I would definately hang loose
until i get an answer.
Mine is that way too i just never noticed this i guess.
