ANOTHER STELLAR LINEUP OF MCACN JOHNNY LIGHTNING CARS!
We often say how fortunate we are to work directly with the best in the industry. Of course, this applies to our Official Sponsors, with many who have been with us since our inception. Without their continued support and participation, we would not be able to do what we do, so allow us to say THANK YOU, one and all, and please remember to work with them whenever you can
We also have some truly outstanding strategic partners, including the Auto World/Johnny Lightning team. Led by Tom and Mary Lowe, this company is the best not only because they are great business people, but because Tom is a real car guy, just like you and me. As an enthusiast, he has a handle on what is really cool in our hobby and it certainly shows in their product line. From the resurrection of the Johnny Lightning brand in the 90's to bringing back some of the coolest MPC and AMT model car kits to...well, you get the idea!
As you know, we teamed up with Auto World several years ago to create our own series of Limited Edition 1/18th scale die-cast replicas of actual cars direct from the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show floor. The first, a gorgeous '66 Chevelle SS restored by Terry Davis was a hit and since then, they have produced over 30 different cars. And these aren't just color changes; they are actual replicas, complete with special MCACN box art featuring the owners name, pictures from the show and a brief story of the car. How cool is that! And we have more than SIX additional cars that will be released on 2020.
Well, as we hope you know, the Auto World folks also launched a series of 1/64th scale Johnny Lightning cars, again based on actual cars from our show. The first was a two-pack that blew us away, as they replicated Mike Hill's wild Day 2 Superbird that we featured in our Barn Finds and Hidden Gems area several years ago along with a corresponding "shiny" B5 stock Superbird. Now that is cool! The next step was to produce mass-market cars in their cool Muscle Car series, with SIX cars from our show, which were offered at retail stores. Offered in the "as seen at the show "A" version and then a "B" set in different colors, these cars flew off the shelves and the first series quickly sold out. The second series is currently on the shelves and can be found at Walmart, Meijer, Hobby Lobby and at other fine retailers. The MCACN special cards are really neat and on the back they talk about the car, and our show. Whew!!!!
So with that being said, we are thrilled to announce the third round of MCACN Johnny Lightning cars, and they are again knocking it out of the park with an incredibly diversified and outrageously cool group of six cars. This includes Adrianna Straub's Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags '69 Dart Swinger, Finley Ledbetters Grabber Blue Boss 302, Rod Kotiga's black Rebel Machine, Bruce Perrones '69 ZL1 Corvette and two cars that were unveiled at MCACN last November; the gorgeous '72 GTO by the Hodge family and Tim Burton's Brewster Green Super Duty Trans Am. How's that for a fine representation to what MCACN is all about!
These cars should hit the stores before our show and of course, the Auto World/Johnny Lightning folks will again be joining us with a big display at MCACN, November 23-24. And YES...we will again have a special Limited Edition Event car, which we will be announcing in the future!
And speaking of our MCACN Official Event Cars; We have a limited amount available of our Inaugural 10th Anniversary '68 Olds W31 and our 2019 issue 1969.5 Super Bee. These cars are $10 each plus shipping, and both were limited runs of just 768 cars. In addition to these, we have a few of the Superbird two-packs and we just received some of the new MCACN Barn Find two-packs featuring the awesome 1965 Z16 Chevelle shown by Jeff Helm along with a matching "mint" Z16! To order your MCACN Exclusive Johnny Lightning cars now, click here; Be sure to check out our special Free Shipping offer, and remember, these are TRUE Limited Editions and when they are gone, they're gone!
Things are full speed ahead here at MCACN Headquarters. We are hoping that we can all get back to enjoying all of the things we love as soon as safely possible. In the meantime, please make the most of the situation, keep in touch with those we can not be with in person and get ready to appreciate all the great things we will be able to do when this is behind us.
Wishing you, your family and friends and everyone else the very best. As my Mother often would say...This too shall pass!
We salute and honor all of those who are making huge sacrifices to get through this, especially those in the healthcare field.
