Danbury Mint Is Back?

Am I wrong, or didn't both Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint close doors several years ago? I am pretty darn sure it was both. I was selling some of my non-GM Truck Danbury stuff at Carlisle in '09 and that's what collectors were telling me.

Anyway, just today I get a familiar envelope like I used to get some 20 years ago. An offer to purchase a model on payments, just send the card in. By what it said on the envelope I knew it was a 67-72 Chevy Truck and expected it to be a 50th anniversary or their own rendering of what a 100th anniversary '68 would look like. Nope. t's a Hugger Orange '69 SWB BBC CST in 1/18 scale.

Do others here know about this? If not, here is your heads up!
