They remind me of my Franklin Mint models I have. They issued two different series of 1950's cars and one 1960's. The Continental they used was black and they used a 1953 Studebaker coupe in maroon.

nice..

New to garage: 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II by Brooklin Models and 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk by Matchbox/ Dinky

recently got a 1969 Ford F100

a 1966 Pontiac GTO wagon that shouldn't probably even exists..

What is supposed to be the first ever Batmobile but i doubt it was red and looks more like a Cord than the Caddy we have here

1964 GMC Panel that i wouldn't have bought if it wasn't pretty much the only way to have one ( i'm really sure that the Star Wars universe is filled with 60's cars... )

1967 1/2 Camaro ? .. it has the sidemarkers AND the 1967 quarterlight window.. which is a fun thing since they took that thing off from the 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 ( my first non-Trans Am Firebird in a while , if not ever ) that i previously bought

Last but not least , Marty McFly's 1985 Toyota Truck , which cost me more than it should, i had to order them from a diecast store in KY , already sold out here

Now waiting for Optimus.. looks a little bit messed up ( maybe look better in real ) but the G1 Transformer fan in me just couldn't resist..

Maybe i should do something before i become the 2nd Canadian with a " Field of Dreams " ..

I just bought the first issue of a new rally partwork, the Lancia Stratos winner of the 1977 Montecarlo Rally


It’s a model by IXO. I know it has some errors but of course I can’t say no to a rally Lancia, and anyway I find it a good model, especially for 5€

There was also the first issue of this new American trucks collection: https://www.deagostini.com/it/collezioni-figures-3d/semirimorchi-americani
But I didn’t buy it also because of space reasons even if I was tempted

Just for info if interested, Oxford Diecast seem to be having a warehouse clearance of old stock into the trade, including in 1:76 some ur-Quattros, S3 Cabrios, and TT coupes - this is their range but showing at normal price. Maybe some cheapies will start popping up in retail outlets/ebay etc??

ouch.. horrible thought but probably cruel truth..

Bought a bunch of Matchbox cars from the Dollar Store.. i just can"t believe that they have a better/newer selection than Walmart and Toys R US ...

Also bought a said-to-be 1965 Dodge A100 camper van that strangely has a license plate that says 1964 ..

I suspect there must be really very few of those 400 131 Stradale road cars left in road-car trim. Most of these probably were stripped of their road-legal equipment right after production and went to rallying competiton for various independent teams/privateers.

Thanks dsl
I was not too sure if it was a civilian one that got the Rallye fogs lights or a Rallye that got a civilian paint job



Thanks

I did not saw the 131 with its trnsport truck but i saw its two series friends

Nice catches I haven’t found the 131 yet sadly. Nice Rabbit too

I see there are also 131s in livery and nice sets with the 037 and the transporter too: https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Fiat_131_Abarth
