Dave45681, thank you very much for your response. Maybe my card is in the box. I haven’t opened it yet. I can tell you for absolute certain that I did buy the car later on in the year. No doubt about it. I distinctly remember it showing up sometime in December. I should have realized that they had already been delivered and MTH had a few leftover. I was surprised it got there so fast.
I have at times seen older club offerings for sale at the MTH booth during either York. That’s how I got my other Standard Gauge car. MTH had it marked down significantly.
