Replying to: lemko (Sep 02, 2008 3:43 pm) Interesting pic you bring up there. Around 1960 Tootsie brought out a line of more detailed Matchbox-sized cars to compete with the British makers. These were meant to be more detailed than their simple little cast metal cars. This effort was a flop, but survivors remain. I have one of these, a Caddy 62 much like the larger model above. It is maybe 1:65 scale:  And speaking of Matchbox BMWs, here's one I remember very well, and I am sure Boomchek does too. This model of an E30 Baur cabrio was made in many paint variants.
