If that is the case, then it must be the one molded by Redbox (Testors if bought in the kit form) given that scale and your description of a flat black tonneau cover - the Miasto is 1:25th scale and has the shiny tonneau cover.

Paul,
the T.C. model is by Maisto - 1/25 (I may have called it 1/24) and tonneau is shiny. It's the only shiny tonneau on any of the 1/24 & 1/25 cars that I have. All the other tonneaus have textured, flat-black surfaces, both Redbox and Maisto.

Well, the big brown truck made its way to California today.

I now have all five books in the collection!

Came home from going out to dinner tonight and package # 4 was on the porch. I missed seeing the Big Brown Truck. Darn. Now when will # 5 arrive?

Dot - I have a 1:25th Red Miasto convertible bird that came with the shiny tonneau, so that's why I figured it was the Maisto.

For those of you looking for 1:18th scale cars that look like yours, I've seen them in Walmart, Kay-Bee Toys, Toys R Us, and Sam's Club at various times over the past year ranging in price from $9.99 to $14.99. Check your local toy department! Our Walmart has a black with black top and full red interior in stock on the shelf for $14.99 + tax. I'd gladly pick it up and mail it to some one if they want to pay for it and the postage. (Remember all of the model cars have the deluxe 24 spoke wheels like the concept car)

Lon, my best guess is in another 3 months per their schedule since you seemed to have missed out on the #5 that some of the early owners lucked out and received early.
