Marx - Mini Marx Blazer Series - Cadillac Eldorado

This is the beautiful Mini Marx Blazer Series Cadillac Eldorado from Marx. This was the first time that Marx had decided to produce 1:64 Scale Vehicles, in an effort to compete with Matchbox and Hot Wheels. They were produced in 1969, and were only made for two years. They were marketed with “Super Speed Wheels”, and came in a plastic bag. Some had interiors with a driver, some had just a white floor, no other interior. They also had “Champion Grade” versions, that were packaged on a blistercard. They even had a track called an “Instant Speedway”, in an attempt to compete with Hot Wheels. There are only a handful of castings, and they have become quite rare, and don’t often make to the collector market these days. This is the first time in 8 years we have had a few of these to offer for sale. This Blue Eldorado with no driver is one of the hardest to find. It is in good shape, with some playwear chips in the paint. It still has the original wheels, the white floor, and it is hard to describe just how rare this particular variation is, but we have only had one other in our ten years + of dealing in vintage diecast. We have priced it well below it’s book value ($80+) to reflect the paint chips, at this price it is an absolute steal!  If you collect Marx, or Cadillac this is an amazing find for your collection as you may not see another one for many, many years
