Tiny 289 block - Where did it come from ?
Hey guys-
I came across this small scale casting of a 289 block a few years ago. Anyone know what it was originally for?
The lifter valley has "DEARBORN OCT 65" cast into it.

I know. I was trying to get some fresh eyes on it. The old guy who I got it from said they were given out by Lee Iacocca at a meeting of senior sales guys. I am hoping at some point someone can verify the story.
