## Flea Market Finds From The Weekend-Photo HEAVY

I’m so glad that more and more LaLD members are posting flea market finds. I’m getting to know more brands and more models. Ones I’d never be exposed to otherwise, a learning experience.

All of these finds are on my trades page if you’re interested in anything you see. I found more than what I’m showing, but I wanted to hold some back as RAOKs in upcoming HWEPS, and give the soon to be new owners the chance to share them. I’ll just get right to it, there’s a lot to cover. I used small photos so I’d waste less of your time and mine. so get comfortable, pour a beverage, and peruse:

## Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato

I have to say this is my best flea-market find so far! The Hot Wheels booth I always go check out has some pretty great stuff. I’ve found all kinds of first editions there that I didn’t have. But this takes the cake! Ever since I found out last year that HW made this car I’ve been hoping to find one. If you look on ebay, prepare to pay a lot. Any guesses on how much I paid for this one? It was loose, but in totally mint condition. Spectraflame black (it’s quite blue, really), full-metal chassis, and great real-riders.

## Auto World 1961 Corvette Hardtop

Though few fans knew it at the time, when Chevrolet pulled the wraps off the 1961 Corvette with its thoroughly redesigned squared off tail section and four round taillights, they were getting a first look at design language that would define America’s sports car decades to follow. The look was the vision of Bill Mitchell, the Harley Earl protégé that had stepped into the role of GM Design Chief upon Earl’s retirement in 1958.
