Danbury Mint 37 Dictator Coupe

[packardHawk58]

Just wondering if any Forum members have or know how much these Danbury Mint 37 coupe's are worth to buy. There is one on ebay at the minute that I am bidding on but it just keeps going up, I was just inquiring what they might be worth before I go to high. If it keeps going at this rate I might as well buy a real one!
Thanks,
Brian

Buy the real thing, then it can share a container with the cruisers.

Don't worry John I have that covered, just waiting for Canberra to give the OK, should be this coming week. You might have them for Christmas.

That'll be nice, liked the white cruiser, but a six, and manual and nowhere to keep.

Good news, I look forward to your shipping bill or is that payable upon arrival here ie Melbourne?

I bought a Danbury Mint '37 Coupe Express pickup a couple of months ago....for $20
(no box, and the bumper was broken off)

What were the coupe's new? Around $225???

I have several Danbury Mint Studebaker die cast cars. Nearly all were around $120 to $140 new.

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't bought on new, so my $ was a swag...

Funny thing about how I sometimes value things...I have bought some of the Studebaker offerings from Danbury when they were first offered without hesitation. I proudly display them and have no regrets about spending the money.

However...true to my "CASO" spirit...I have refused to pay $40 bucks, for the same cars, at yard sales and flea markets because I think I might find a "better deal" later.

Jeff, I think by the end of the day it will be over three hundred dollars. Its not a matter of being a CASO, I just didn't know what they are worth or availability. Just like the real thing if its rare its expensive!
Thanks for the input guys.

I collect diecast cars and the 1937 Stude is a stunning model: Check out review here: http://www.diecast.org/diecast98/htm.../reviewpix.htm

Pricing amongst diecast afficienados is $200 (minimum) as Danbury Mint is (probably) out of the diecast business causing prices of models to rise. HTH, Bob

Thanks Bob, you are spot on, the model sold for $274.00 . They say that Danbury Mint are back in business and they might make another version of this model in a different colour and more detail.
