1932 Lockheed Vega, Die-cast metal model, Mono-wing, Airplane Bank, 1/32 scale. The Pepsi Cola Company began making Mountain Dew in 1964. This model was manufactured in 1994 for their 30th anniversary. It is now 31 years old and in absolute mint condition. It has never been used as a bank or played with by children. The wheels roll and the prop spins, the windshield is removable to deposit a coin (if you so desire). The models were manufactured for Liberty Classics and distributed by Spec Cast of Dyersville, Iowa. Manufacture was limited to 5000 units only. Each model was individually numbered. This one is number 3265. I am asking $39.oo CASH. If interested, please call Sam, evenings and weekends at show contact info . If no answer, leave a message, please speak loud and slow. I also respond to email, but NOT text messages. (I’m located a few miles west of Manassas, just off of Rt. 66.)

A brief history for your interest: Lockheed Vega airplanes were built from 1927 to 1932. Total production was 132. At their inception they were one of the fastest airplanes in the world. They set many speed and endurance records. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to solo the Atlantic in one and Wiley Post flew his twice around the world. Both of their planes are in the Smithsonian.
