PMC's vehicle products were called "Tru Miniatures".
PMC introduced its first models about 1947, PMC, along with Jo-Han, were the FIRST Promotional Companies to introduce plastic models to dealerships, in the 1950s
Offerings in the late 1950s spilled over to European Opel, when the Rekord was made for 1959 (and beyond in commercial styrene form). They even made a Volkswagen Beetle in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but it was unlikely the bug was actually a promotional for German VW dealerships.
Car model production, the company mainstay, ended about 1965. In 1958 or 1959 the company moved to Pewaukee, west of Milwaukee, and remains there to this day, now producing other plastic promotional products, but not vehicles |
