1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

Auto World launches its first Barbie Bel Air in 1:18 scale ... Turquoise and pink certainly team up to shout 1950s car fashion, but in this case they also scream Barbie dream car. I’m no Barbie expert (no sisters), but I do know that the bosomy blonde doll has been partial to brightly colored cars... Continue Reading →

Diecast: 1956 Ford F-100 pickup

Auto World creates a simple, iconinc Ford pickup ... Ford’s pickup hasn’t always been the best-selling vehicle in North America, it just seems that way. But in the 1950s Ford redesigned its F-1 pickup and renamed it the F-100 (now the F-150), all in an effort to overtake Chevrolet. By 1956 the second generation Ford... Continue Reading →

Diecast: Bugatti Chiron Sport

Autoart's 1:18 hypercar looks crazy fast even at rest ... What happens in the auto world when the term “supercar” isn’t descriptive enough? Naturally we seek a new term, and for now that has become hypercar. But is that enough to describe a car with 1,479 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time of... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1966 Indy 500 winning Lola T90

Replicarz creates sharp 1/18 scale Hill '66 Indy winner ... Graham Hill, a Formula 1 world champion, was the surprise winner of the 1966 Indianapolis 500, just a year after Jim Clark, with the same credentials, had won.

CMC's detail is drop-dead gorgeous on Jag C-Type ... Jaguar was dominant at Le Mans in the 1950s as a series of its sports cars were developed into racers. The XK120 started it all after World War II and the long-hooded sleek sports car set the styling and performance standards. What grew from that was... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Auto World’s 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne Coupe

Chevrolet Biscayne was a go-to car for years While Auto World’s new 1/18 scale Chevrolet Biscayne Coupe is a lot snazzier looking in its Aztec Bronze paint scheme, it reminds me of some of the Plain Jane Chevy’s my great uncle  and other relatives used on their Indiana farms. Those were usually white, tan or... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Auto World 1967 Chevelle SS Convertible

Auto World flexes its muscle with drop-top Chevelle SS Chevrolet was in the sales driver’s seat in the 1960s as it churned out hit after hit as we were all busy seeing the U.S.A. in our Chevrolet. But even then its cars were growing in size and stature so quickly that by 1964 Chevy realized... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Autoart Lamborghini Countach

WOW ... Autoart’s Countach an eyeful of detail It’s hard not to be wowed by most Autoart Signature Series models, this is diecast near its peak. And there’s a lot of wow factor with a bright orange Lamborghini Countach LP400. You may need sunglasses to examine it up close. Countach was the first Lambo to... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: AutoArt’s McQueen Porsche Speedster

AutoArt nails McQueen’s racy Porsche 356 Speedster If you’re old enough to remember the chase scene in “Bullitt” you’ll likely appreciate AutoArt’s fastidious recreation of any of Steve McQueen’s cars, including his 356 Porsche Speedster.
