Most should receive it. If you are the first owner then most likely you'll receive it.

After the second deposit ($10,000 and then $50,000) the sculpture was sent to the person who ordered the car

After delivery they sent a cradle with the chassis # inscribed to place the sculpture upon

Unfortunately, when some cars were sold, all the swag (ex. Luggage) did not transfer to the new owner

I believe there was some discussion on here that this was a regional item - similar to the Tumi luggage. In fact I believe originally it was going to be USA-only, but Canadian dealers complained on behalf of their buyers and they got blocks too (I suppose it was only 7 anyway). Don't know if any other countries/regions got it.

I have the crystal but did not get the cradle. Actually have never seen a picture of the cradle. Anyone have one?

I wonder if they stopped making the cradles at some point. The letter accompanying my crystal block mentioned the cradle explicitly, and I got the cradle a while after I took delivery of the car. It just has the vehicle number on it - not the VIN.

I haven't put my auto collectibles up on display since my last move, but I'll try to find the cradle and take a pic at some point.

Very heavy. I've never weighed it, but I'd guess at least 10 pounds.

Where is a link to a picture of the sculpture in the cradle I found in 2014 when LFAHalo had a similar question

Yes I have it, with the cradle. It is very heavy, maybe 30 lbs.
