(Disneyland, 1998) A very rare Autopia attraction vehicle model prototype. This model was designed by Imagineer Doug Hartwell to be offered at the Main Street Disneyana shop in a line of historic Tomorrowland vehicles to celebrate the New Tomorrowland expansion of 1998. However, due to the intricacy of the various types of vehicle models considered, very few were fully developed and sold before they were quickly discontinued. This Autopia vehicle model is one of just a few known to exist, and comes unassembled with additional pieces included. The model is hand-painted and created out of resin, with additional metal pieces included. Measuring 8" long when unassembled, the model is in good overall condition with surface wear throughout. A couple small details appear to be missing, but since this prototype was created at one stage of development for the model, those pieces may not have been in use yet.
