AMC Johnny Lightning White Lightning update - yes, I DO have two

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Well, I had to join WWW.Hobbytalk.com to figure it
all out, but it was worth it. Once there, I found
several references to JL websites that explain the
intracacies of the WL designations. Apparently the
manner in which cars are built as a White Lightning
has been changing with the series, to make it harder
to find them. This website, WWW.LightningLane.com, has
a list of all the series, latest to earliest, and what
characteristics make a car a WL. The latest, the
Classic Gold series with the Gremlin, uses ONLY white
interiors as the basis for it being a white
lightnting, no white wheels or white underchassis.
So,that means I DID get two WL Gremlins on Friday.
That's the good news,the bad news is that in order to
figure out other WL cars, you might need a print-out
of the cheat sheet to keep track of them all, as some
are subtle, and many cars come with a white, or
off-white, interior, but may have a black steering
wheel and dash, or another minor thing that makes it
ordinary. One series had white interior and tinted
glass, the tint is the tip-off to it being a true WL.
  Bottom line is, they're still hard to find and
figure out, but there is some hope of finding out
whether you have one or not. Anyway, my two Gremlin
WL's are gonna be with me a LONG time. LOL. Hope this
helps some of you AMC diecast hunters. Good luck out
there!
