Just bought an assembled Dracula's Dragster with kindergarten paint job. Looks to only be missing (1) headlight/candle. Can't find markings. Anyone know how to identify an original Aurora from a Polar Lights? I believe the Polar Lights re-issue is cream colored base plastic but not sure what color vintage Aurora is (mine is black). Any help appreciated!

"Kindergarten Paint Job"??????
I wish I could paint that good.
Yeah, it looks great! Whoever painted that kit had more than decent hand-eye coordination.

I like kid paint jobs from the period very much because they're part of the history. :)

My photo apparently makes it look nice than it is. ;) That said, I agree with horrorhunter and have no plans to repaint or modify (aside from cleaning it up a bit). Was excited to find as it's the first of this type model I'd seen and the price was more than right.

Indeed! Note also that whoever painted it faithfully reproduced James Bama's box art:
