Pre-order Vintage Car Code Issue

Sul Sul!

I recently lucked out on a factory-sealed copy of the pre-order bonuses and have a code printed on a card insert to be entered here: https://www.thesims3.com/preorder to unlock a Vintage Car. I took pictures then unsealed the case and tried to enter the code, no luck. The page changes to that classic Oops! error page that the Store has. I contacted EA support to see if there was a workaround way to have the code validated, no dice. The chat agent said it should work on the site, but if not then there was nothing to be done.

The Vintage Car is a blue muscle care and is different from the European one/Montalcino Fandango SE found here: https://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3%3A22676

That link was listed for free years ago for people who missed out on the collector's edition, but I am wondering if there is a similar link in the Store for the Vintage Car? I am okayish getting it from other sources, but would prefer it officially somehow.
