Gathering First Look: Matchbox 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula Dinner Exclusive (and early bird variant)...

It could be said about the Gathering, "Come for the models, stay for the experience".  We have spent the week (and some previous posts) displaying past Gathering exclusives, just to show how cool these models are.  And here we go again.

So here is another Lamley exclusive.  You are seeing these just as attendees are picking theirs up at the dinner.

I don't need to say alot about these, as the pictures speak for themselves.  But some details:

• There are two variants - one without the Firebird (1 of 125) for all dinner attendees, and one with the Firebird (1 of 75), given to the first 75 registrants.
• The shows organizer, Jim Gallegos, owned a Firebird similar to this way back when, so this model has a bit of significance to him.
• If anyone cares, in my opinion this Dinner model may be the best yet. 

Come back tomorrow morning to see the Dealer model.  You won't be disappointed.
