Honest car reviews both big and small
Automodello creates the engine, and Lotus 49 Few engines have the pedigree of Ford’s 3.0-liter twin cam V8, nor can boast the overwhelming success. But calling it a Ford is a bit of a stretch. Most folks refer to the engine as the Cosworth DFV (double four valve) because Keith Duckworth and Mike Costin of... Continue Reading →
Duesenberg J Murphy Torpedo was fast, beautiful Growing up in Indiana I learned that Duesenbergs were fast and beautiful, and there wasn’t much more to learn. That was, until I found out there were many varieties due to various coachbuilders creating the bodywork on the 1920s and 30s models. Now Automodello goes and creates one... Continue Reading →
Automodello creates stunning 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Packard was a big deal prior to World War II, a player, one of the top makes in this country and recognized overseas for its quality and luxury. Even in 1934 when the Depression was at full song, Packard was turning out fancy machines for the upper crust... Continue Reading →
Automodello’s Timbs Streamliner exemplified slick styling Few cars are as radically styled as Norman E. Timbs’ Streamliner. The Streamliner is a teardrop-shaped car that looks like an amoeba that should be wriggling on a slide under a microscope, except it’s a car. You’ve probably seen it and didn’t know what it was. Now Automodello creates the... Continue Reading →
Automodello’s 1964 Marcos 1800 Unless you’re of the age where the name Marcos reminds you of a former Philippine strong man/president, you may be a bit puzzled by the Marcos automobile name. But in the 1960s Marcos was a racer, one that looked somewhat Italian, but with a long nose more shaped like that of... Continue Reading →
Get Smart, you'll like this Sunbeam Tiger in any color Baby Boomers who still can’t get the “Get Smart” theme song out of their heads will recall Maxwell Smart racing to a stop in a red Sunbeam Tiger at the start of every show. The song ran on while Max walked down stairs and a... Continue Reading →
Packard Twelve highlights elegant 1930s styling While I prefer post-war cars, probably something to do with my age, I appreciate fine car design from earlier eras, such as the 1930s. Automodello’s fine 1:43 resin models seem to know no styling limits and certainly bridge a variety of decades. So there’s no surprise that Automodello now turns... Continue Reading →
Automodello creates John Fitch's souped up Corvair John Fitch is NOT a household name. But he was an incredible person. Fitch not only was a leading American sports car racer in the 1950s, racing at LeMans six times and finishing third once, winning big name events such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and 1955 Mille Miglia...

Automodello’s Avanti offers sharp detail in resin Eyeballed my first Studebaker Avanti at my first Indianapolis 500 in 1962. The car was just about to be produced and was the “ceremonial” pace car for that year’s race, won by Roger Ward. A Studebaker Lark convertible was the “official” pace car. This car looked futuristic, and... Continue Reading →
Resin Continental Mark III a rare offering Rarity plays a big role in full-size vintage auto prices. This is true too for diecast models, which is what makes Automodello’s new 1:24 Lincoln Continental Mark III a hit, even at its strong $299 asking price. This is a car for baby boomers who favor the classics over... Continue Reading →
