Looks like a prop out of some christmas movie... It looks really good.. Love the old Coke crate.

I used to build models for Scale Auto Enthusiast Magazine when i was in highschool up until about 1998... Here are a few i still have sitting in a cabinet i built in the mid 90s. Never had a judge even mention that fiberglass doesnt rust... haha..

I would contact the seller and tell him you feel like the item was misrepresented before going the complaint route through paypal. A couple months ago i purchased a seat that had what i thought to be decent pics in the auction and the description said that the seat just needed to be recovered...

Great finds... Thats the first time ive seen a chrome super delta deluxe light... Pretty sweet.
