Preview: Two new Squarebody Chevys, the brand new Ford F-150 and Auto World Premium Release 4
Auto World is killing it. Truly hitting its stride. Releases are still sparse, which I actually like, giving AW collectors time to appreciate each one. This is the fourth of 2019, and like they’ve been doing lately, another home run. Release 4 marks the debut of the massive Ford F-150, the largest AW to date. […]

Auto World makes its 2019 debut with Premium Release 1, and it is available at SURPLUSgoodies now.
Call it pre-Squarebody. The Auto World Chevy Trucks are coming, and from the vibe I am getting, it will be the Auto World equivalent of TLV’s Ferraris. Something completely new, and very exciting. But as I have said with the TLV Ferraris, let the Squarebodies be the entry, and then immerse yourself in the fantastic […]

Auto World went full All-Star with 2018 Premium Release 4
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 […]

You want new Auto World tools. I do too. They are delivering in a serious way. Many new tools to come, but it starts with the new Chevy Impala and Buick Estate Wagon. Both are most welcome, but the Buick takes the cake for me, and further solidifies AW as the king of classic American […]
