More on JL AMX...

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

< Eddie asked > Jerry since you have one in hand, I
have heard JL finally got rid of 
the 
goofy mailbox scoop all the other JL AMXs had in the
past, which was 
from 
the old Series #1 SS/AMX Shahan car. True?


  Yes, no more mailbox, just the p-51 or Spitfire
raised hood gills on the hood now.


< Eddie asked > I thought JL also released a white one
along the orange one also...but this ebay auctions
says it is White Lightning anyone know for sure?

  I'm beginning to wonder about that, too. I sure wish
JL had kept the standard white wheels or at least
printed White Lightning on the cars, nowadays it's
been hard to judge. What I've SEEN and HEARD is that
the bottoms of the cars are also painted white, and
that's supposed to be the giveaway. If that's the
case, my two white-interior Gremlins are NOT WL's.
They have grey bottoms. It could be that some
unscrupulous sellers are claiming that they are WL's
when they're actually not. I was looking for a website
to clarify the distinction yesterday, but have found
none to positively say one way or the other yet. I've
seen a few cars with all-white interiors except for
the dash and steering wheels, and some with all white,
too. So it's confusing to me what the criteria is for
a true WL. But all 3 Gremlin White Lightning's I've
seen on ebay have white interiors ( but no pictures of
the BOTTOMS of the cars ), so some more research is in
order. Anyone else care to share an opinion? Or some
facts?
