Description of 1967 Other Makes Abercrombie and Fitch Glassic Runabout

1967 Abercrombie and Fitch Glassic Runabout - Rare Vintage Great Condition!!Very rare and hard to find automobile. only a handful made for the Abercrombie and Fitch Magazine. this is a nice piece of history to bid on! I included a brief history at the end of this write up about this Abercrombie edition. Condition overall is awesome. Nice interior/exterior. runs and drives fine with good tires. Only showing 468 original miles! Two different sound horns installed. one retro/classic(ooOO-gah) one modern (honk). Original steering wheel has been replaced with a wood grain. the white original wheel comes included however. The original cloth top with windows also comes with the car and is in decent shape. Paint is good. If you do several walkarounds you may notice a few very small hairline cracks in the paint and some very light scratches here and there. Again all of this is very minor. overall this car is in really nice condition. good representation for the year and I have plenty of pictures to see. Normal wear in the seats. The seats were reupholstered some years ago but are overall in good shape. Maybe two small quarter sized tears in hard to find spots. one on the top of the back seat. one on the passenger seat near the top. again about a quarter in size. easily fixed/ patched if you wanted. Vin number 218. If you do research you will find that the VIN218 is from the May 1967 invoice for these vehicles. Take a look. see the video below for a walk around and please message or call with any questions! 615. 891. 7850Brief History from glassicannex. org"Approximately 1600 fiberglass-bodied replicas of 1931 Model A Fords were made by the Glassic Company in West Palm Beach Florida. They were manufactured between about 1966 and 1981. at first using International Scout four-cylinder engines and chassis. changing in 1972 to Mustang 302 cubic inch V-8 engines and specially built frames. Most of the cars were Phaeton body style. but there were some Roadsters and only three pickup trucks built. The company changed their name to Replicars in 1975. so later models used that name. although the name "Glassic" is used as a generic term for both name plates. Glassic replicas are sometimes confused with Shay replicas. about 5. 00 of which were made during a similar time period. The Shay replicas more closely resemble the actual Model A. whereas the Glassics were modified a little in appearance to be more practical for contemporary driving. The Shay replicas used Pinto 4-cylinder engines. and consisted mostly of rumble-seat Roadsters and Roadster pickup trucks. Glassics can be identified by their wider doors and more contemporary 14 inch or 15 inch wheels. Glassic built about 20 to 30 cars for Abercrombie & Fitch to sell primarily through their Christmas catalog under a promotion of "for the man who had everything". Most of them were sold through West Palm Beach and Miami. and the cars were "charged" to a particular store. This was not great for the store's profit page since cars usually had a much smaller markup than other high priced items. The cars sold by Abercrombie were essentially the same as regular Glassics. except that they had a custom made medallion in the front that said "Abercrombie Runabout" - the word Glassic did not appear anywhere on the car except for the VIN tag". Very nice piece of history!! Message any questions. thanks for looking and happy bidding!!VIDEO: Highway 12 Motorsports 5110 Ashland City HighwayNashville.
