Automobile dealer promos were 1/25th-scale versions of cars and trucks that salesmen would show off to their prospective customers. While car companies have always made small replicas of their products, the heyday of these salesmans samples was the 1950s, ’60s, and early ’70s. Miniature models of automobiles began to pop up shortly after the first cars were introduced in the early 20th century. They were originally developed, not as toys for children or as models for hobbyists, but as promotional tools and design aids for car dealerships. These promos, made with the permission of the automakers in exact detail by companies such as A.M.T., JoHann, PMC and Hubley, were 1/25-scale versions that salesmen would use to show off to prospective customers. Car dealers did not always carry in stock every color option available, so the 1/25-scale replicas provided a way to show the prospective customer the car in their chosen paint color.
