Replying to: fintail (Jun 05, 2009 7:03 pm) They are from Crusher Joe, a Japanese Anime TV show. I doubt that Munich or Stuttgart gave their official blessing to the show's producers, but who knows?

#277 of 306 Castline, Inc./M2 Machines by writer Jun 15, 2009 (7:31 am)
This company is new to me. From what I gather from their website, it is a fairly young company. The current product line is purely US brand cars with a focus on GM products. They are producing some very interesting and unique 1950's models in 1:64 and 1:24. I picked up a couple at Walmart recently.   One is a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air and the other is a 1953 Oldsmobile 98. While you might not consider the 1954 Chev that unique, they found a new way to make it so. The bodies on these two particular models is transparent plastic which allows you to see the interior and engine compartment detailing. And yes, there is some evidence or real effort to get these details right. The seats of the two models are different. I will have to guess that they are correct because I do not know the interiors of these cars that well. They certainly look about right for that era. Engines are also represented differently.   If the local Walmarts get one of the 57 Chev's in, I might buy one. I only have a plastic body 1:25 of a 57 right now. In fact, M2 has both Bel Air and 210 version for 1957. While the Bel Air is the better looking, the 210 was most likely the biggest seller (though I expect the 4 Dr. would have been the biggest seller).   M2 Machines/Castline, Inc.

Hey Lemko, there's a new Matchbox out that you might want:     I've seen it in 3 colors with 2 wheel variations - these mags, and a whitewall style. Replies to this message: lemko (Sep 13, 2009 8:13 am) boomchek (Sep 13, 2009 1:06 pm) fintail (Sep 13, 2009 4:04 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Sep 12, 2009 7:36 pm) I have the exact one pictured - its a 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. I also have the 1964 hearse - no doubt made with the old tooling from the Lesney 1964 S&S ambulance made back in the '60s.

Replying to: fintail (Sep 12, 2009 7:36 pm) I like it too! I'll probably grab one when I see it.   Found these 3 Corgis on craigslist yesterday. They look pretty neat. I like the attention to detail. Not sure of price is steep or ok though.   Bentley   Mustang   Ferrari Replies to this message: fintail (Sep 13, 2009 4:04 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Sep 13, 2009 1:06 pm) Those prices would be good if they were reduced by about half. With that kind of wear, they are pretty much considered heavily worn and not of huge value.   I had a feeling Lemko would already know about that Caddy
