Hello,
Maybe one of the Greenlight Mustang guys can help me out. I recently purchased the 2009 Northwest Fest Promo 1965 Mustang GT. It was listed as 1/2??. After I received the car I compared it to the 1965 Mustang GT from The Cruise-In Mustang Collection. (Hobby Distribution Exclusive) It was the same Pearl White, red stripe, black interior with Crager 5-Spoked wheels. Right down to the Cruise-In license tag. I can see absolutely no difference. Also it is sequence stamped #5462. Do you think this promo handout was from the common Cruise-In production run? I didn't pay a lot for the car but would like to liberate it from the packaging. In that case it could no longer be considered a promo, correct?

I believe that Jeremy from Colletables Corner
repackaged some of the exclusive hobby only Cruise-In Mustang Collection castings for the Northwest Fest show and used them for fundraising.
The castings are indeed the same but the packaging (blisters) are different.
I just checked a loose one that I have in my collection and it is numbered 5011.
I sent a loose set of the exclusive hobby only Cruise-In Mustang Collection castings to both Roadwarrior and Craftymore before Christmas last year.
Some additional information:
"there are 3 event exclusive factory manufactured cars a
greenlight 1/480 pcs 1965 Mustang GT; second a M2 Machines 1957 Chevy 1/300; third a Shelby Collectibles Eleanor Mustang 1/400 event car all with chase cars available".
480 pieces made including Green Machines.
At one time Jeremy was selling the Greenlight castings and I believe that Diecast Museum may still be selling them.
Keep the Norhwest Fest casting in the blister and buy a regular white pearl Cruise-In Mustang Collection casting to open.
The ultimate choice is still yours.
I hope that this information helps.
Cheers. Cobra
