MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1970 Nova — 2008 M0428 Chrome
The chrome M0428 puts nearly every curve in reflection. Gray hood and side graphics, a gray cabin and open-hole five-spoke wheels distinguish this version from the dark blue Nova that shares its toy code.

What to look for
This release is number 3 of 15 in the 2008 Modern Classics series. The metal base is unpainted, and the model was made in Thailand. Chrome body finish should not be confused with a claim that every lower component is chrome plated.

This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Ask for an angled photo of the roof and doors. Hairline marks show differently as the light moves across a reflective surface.
Check the gray graphics for rubbed edges and compare the interior color through the window. Those details help separate the two M0428 finishes.
Collector questions
Is every M0428 Nova chrome?
No. A Spectraflame dark blue version with orange graphics and an orange interior also uses M0428.
