Hello All, I am new to the forum and trying to locate a model (plastic, resin or die cast) of the 90's General Motors EV1 (Electric Car), has anyone come across one in their travels? Many Thanks for any leads, Phil

I think I remember seeing one that G.M. gave away out on the west coast once. We had three of them at work that we drove all over Speedway all the time (pizza runs). Maybe a licenseing thing.

You MIGHT find it as a promo, or a really obscure diecast, but to my knowledge nobody has ever kitted this or made a resin version of one, because the likelyhood of demand was rightly, quite low.

While I am sure there are quite a few people who would want one, it wouldn't be cost effective for a manufacturer or resin caster to go through the time to create the master, make the molds, etc.  The return would either be so little, or the cost would have to be so high, just to break even.
