I turned out pretty well...they even have the tonneau cover details. I could see my mom in an older CLK.
 
Hot Wheels made a W124 wagon, it looks worse in person, at least the one I have

The proportions and wheels suggest some kind of pedal car. Never seen one with such a low-slung roof. I imagine the roof needs to be removed for even a child to pedal the car.

Yep, collectible, but not in the way most of y'all seem to like 'em. Call it a weekend diversion.

I'm looking for any type of collectables for the new NBC series Knight Rider. I'm interested in anything with the star car, Shelby GT-500KR. Looking for various scales of this car in regular & attack mode. Contact me at bwfenechhotmail.com

I doubt there is anything connected to the show yet, but if it is a success, look for stuff maybe around Christmas. I am sure plans already exist, and Chinese sweatshops can be retooled very quickly.

I passed through a Walmart last week and there were some new '57 Corvettes in 1/18 and 1/24. I think they were Maisto. Very nice looking. There was a '57 Thunderbird too. Also, a '57 Chev convertable. Somebody likes '57. Maybe Heinz Ketsup too.

I think Maisto makes decent models for the price. The quality is fairly good if you're not a picky collector.

Perhaps, but their quality and level of detail borders on unacceptable for those of us who are choosy.

I'm not a fan of them simply because their third world cost/wage structure ran first world Bburago into the ground.
 
Most Bburago models were also pretty flawed in the small details, but back in the day I really liked them anyway.
