Luyendyk's 1/43 scale Domino’s Lola a winner ...  Back in the 1980s when I was covering the Indianapolis 500 for the Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper Arie Luyendyk was our hometown racer. How’s that?

Die-cast: Autoart’s 2017 Dodge Viper GTS-R ACR

Striking Viper GTS-R ACR is a 'super' car, in scale ...

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1966 Indy 500 Lola T90/Jackie Stewart

Replicarz fields another famous Indy 500 racer ... For me, a kid who grew up in Indianapolis watching Lotus and Lola redefine what an IndyCar is during the mid-1960s, these were the most beautiful race cars ever. Loved Indy’s roadsters, but 1966 was just the second year a rear-engine racer won the Indianapolis 500 and... Continue Reading →

Vector M12 a rare beast, but BoS nails it ... If you’ve never heard of a Vector M12, or Vector, or maybe remember hearing of Vector but suspected it was long gone, well, you’re sort of right.

Die-cast: Auto World’s 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

1969 Charger R/T  cool in Light Blue Poly ... As a teenager in 1969 I was enthralled with muscle cars for their speed, their rumbling V8s, and their looks. My family was Mopar crazy and so that made me a prime candidate to love Dodge’s Charger. But really, I was more into the Challenger and... Continue Reading →
