Yes, this is not a supercar. It’s not a regular car either, or a truck, or a bus. What it is, though, is undeniably cool. Remember being a kid, when you had Erector Sets, or when you asked your dad what those giant orange machines were moving around construction sites, building the very city in […]
We’ve written a few times about Ford GT40’s and GT’s. Beginning with the GT40, Ford created a pure racing machine with a single-minded purpose: Dominate at LeMans (and beat Ferrari). The marque brought together some legendary names to aid in the effort, and in 1966 accomplished their goal. GT40’s continued to win at LeMan, including […]

For larger vehicles that take up too much space at bigger scales, to model Train builders who want realistic cities in HO scale, 1/87 is a small, but important niche for diecast. It’s also a place for model car builders to flex some skills, bringing in tons of detail despite a small palette, especially when […]
Just like our 1/43 Inductee, this ’57 Buick Century Wagon represents the ultimate in American, stylish family transportation. Based on the Chevy 2-door body style, the Century was Buick’s more luxurious interpretation of the more humble Chevy. Named “Caballero” after the term for a Mexican Gentleman, the Century Wagon was suitably plush, with more chrome, […]
