Picked up two Matchbox cars at the Fall Carlisle meet today: a 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille and a 1963 Cadillac hearse.

Over the past couple of years I have been noticing a couple of new brands around -- both at Walmart, but also other stores. One is NewRay and the other is "Signature Models". NewRay is producing sort of 1/2 diecast stuff of varying middle range quality. I bought a kit of an early Dodge Challenger in 1/32 that turned out ok. At that time there were not many good Challengers around that size, and I did not want anything bigger. In fact, I was hoping for a 1/43. Signature Models (http://www.signature-models.com/) seem to be producing a much higher quality product, but I expect that there are some plastic pieces in them too. The prices are quite low. I have not actually seen one outside its box yet, but parts fit and accuracy look really good. They are making 1/32 and 1/18 scales, and some really unusual selections, like the "1938 Buick convertable", the "1933 Pierce Silver Arrow" and a "1947 Delahaye 135M". Walmart has been selling the 1/32 cars around $9.00 Cdn, and the 1/18 cars around $30.00 Cdn. Look for some interesting features on these models as well, like center hinges on the hoods of the 1930 range cars. |

Replying to: boomchek (Dec 15, 2008 10:55 am) Lego attempts at actual cars always look odd. That Beetle looks like a 30s KdF prototype. When I was 9 or 10 I had a Technic go-kart that I thought was pretty awesome. |
