. How was the selection of other 1/43's at the store in NH??
Paul - unfortunately, not that good. Most of the cars were in those flat boxes with cardboard slots for the cars to be displayed in. I only saw one 1/43 box and it had the Impala in blue, white and red colors and an Aston Martin in a couple of colors, which didn't appeal to me. The rest of the boxes were mixed 1/32 - 1/38 scales. I believe I paid $7-8 for the Impala.
My understanding has always been that for non-Corvettes, the crossed flags represent a Chevrolet "Performance Engine" and could have been (for 1967, anyway) from 327 to 427, depending on what number was inserted between the flags. A base 283 V-8 only had a small "V" and not the crossed flags.
This Impala diecast model has the crossed flags emblem on the front fender, but not enough detail for an actual engine displacement number. I'm guessing there weren't a lot of big-block 4-door Impala's
