Honest car reviews both big and small
1978 Mark V marked Ford's Diamond Jubilee … For a time in the 1960s and ‘70s luxury meant length in the auto world and there’s probably no finer example than Lincoln’s Continental Mark V. This was the best-selling Mark series Lincoln at more than 228,000 units and was the longest two-door coupe ever sold by... Continue Reading →
AMC Eagle wagon beat crossover trend by decades … History seems to show us that the innovators, the forward thinkers are not always rewarded with success. Consider the move over the past 25 years to AWD vehicles and crossovers in particular. Then consider the American Motors Eagle wagon. It was an early crossover to be... Continue Reading →
Here's a steamy hot version of Audi's R8 racer ... Just like in the real racing world, Autoart now makes composite die-cast bodies for its models, one of the latest being a steaming hot version of Audi’s racy R8. It has been a few years since I got to test drive the 1/1 version, but... Continue Reading →
Round2's small scale cars deliver bang for the buck! … As I mentioned in my introduction to this issue, Round2’s Johnny Lightning brand celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year and while various special releases are eminent, its Racing Champions brand continues to make similarly excellent 1/64 die-cast cars that are available right now. I love... Continue Reading →
Brumm racing models are a super value … Picture a blue and orange Gulf liveried racer and you’ll likely conjure up either a Ford GT40 or Porsche 917. Both were iconic racers in the late 1960s and early ’70s and now Porsche is fast approaching its 50th anniversary of the 917’s win at Le Mans.... Continue Reading →
Black Shadow proved dominant in final Can-Am season … Can-Am racing in the late 1960s and early 1970s was breathtaking, and each season seemed to produce a dominant car with massive engines and power. What’s not to like, right? McLarens dominated the early years with their Kiwi Orange bodies, the M1B, M6A, and M8A. Bruce... Continue Reading →
Toyota, Yamaha teamed up for racy 2000GT … Since its beginning Toyota has wrestled with the perception that it makes reliable, economical, but boring, cars. That changed in 1967, as it chose to fight that battle head-on by developing and producing a halo car. Others had done it. Think Chevy’s Corvette, Ford’s GT, Nissan’s Z... Continue Reading →
Porsche 911 GT3 a rare racer … Porsche 911s are a dime a dozen in the real world, but the GT3 RS model is rare indeed, except the German automaker has been cranking out these race-ready models since 1999. That translates to about 14,000 of these high-priced babies rolling out of the Stuttgart plant’s doors.... Continue Reading →
Silver Cheetah a muscular winner in 1/18 scale … Hard as it is to imagine, the funky Cheetah sports car has never been reproduced in 1/18 scale, at least not this stunning silver version that Replicarz has chosen to make as part of its Sports Car series. This sealed body cast-resin model highlights the... Continue Reading →
True 1/64 scale cars are little gems from Round2 …  Didn’t most of us start out collecting Matchbox, or later Hot Wheels, die-casts?
