Wow, what a lineup.
One thing that I love about Auto World is, like TLV, it is not afraid to take on a standard car. Meaning not every replica has to be a Camaro, or Skyline, or Ferrari. But, also like TLV, it is fun when they go with the hits.
And they did with 2018 Premium Release 4. Not only a couple of new gems, the Buick Estate (now with wood paneling!) and Impala Convertible, but four other stars, the Pontiac Firebird, Mustang Mach 1, and a full dynamic duo, the Ford GT40 and Cadillac Coupe DeVille. And even those two go levels up in Gulf for the GT40 and D’Elegance for the Caddie. You need to check these out:
Loaded, right?
By the way, I mentioned I needed to look into the Coupe DeVille D’Elegance. Yeah, it’s legit. Check out the red trim!

Not a dud in this bunch. I’m liking the white Cadillac and Buick wagon along with the green Firebird best.
It’s nice to see some actual grain to the wood-grain paneling on the Buick. The various colors of Chevy Kingswood they did seemed to just have un-textured brown to simulate the wood, so this looks like an upgrade.
Nice Mustangs and Firebirds, but I’ll only hunting for the Ford GTs. What a couple of beauties! No doubt these will be hard to find.
Between 74 and 75, there’s a change in front grill detail.
