I've accumulated a few different releases of the Matchbox Ford LTD police car, but this Premiere World Class release from 1997, in authentic Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) deco, is the one I like best
This one in red is a 24H of Nurburgring version from 2017. I love the paint scheme, which is quite simple but the red matches quite well with the black, and the yellow lights.
Model: '77 Pontiac Firebird Funny Car Release: Dragstrip Demons (2010) ebay link: Hot Wheels 2010 Dragstrip Demons Why I am featuring it: This car just looks bad ass. Only three variations of this casting have been released to my knowledge (4 counting a super limited Troy Lee designs release). Two were released in the 2010 …

A feature on the impressive MINI GT BMW M3 E30 1991 Macau GP Winner with fantastic details!
Matchbox car. First time out of box. I remember those words like I read them yesterday.
One of my favorites from TLV
A feature on my custom painted 1/64 Japan double storey Car park from XcarToys.
The license plate on this one was an ominous sign.
This Mustang has never looked better than in this vintage-inspired black and gold race livery.
Corgi Jr's take on the vintage Volvo 245 DL Wagon is one you absolutely need to see more of to fully appreciate -- and it has moving parts!
Yes, this is model is battered. Yes, this model is bruised. It had a tough life with me as an owner from new.
The iconic 300SL done by Schuco
Tomica's Limited Vintage Hinos have been some of the most desirable 1/64s of the past few years. Monsters, full of tiny details, opening trailers and oozing with retro Japanese chic. And the demand has been high, prices have quickly risen to the point where to some of us they have fast become unobtanium. But today we're not going to be serving up any more (highly deserved) hyperbole on those. We're taking a little step back into the Japanese brand's back catalogue to look at the one of the ancestors of the modern TLVN Hinos.
A feature on the "Gigantic" Mercedes Benz Actros with 40 feet Maersk diecast container
Was this my dad's car?
One of the most favored Auto World castings....
It's a truth widely acknowledged that anything with the Mooneyes livery on it is instant cool, and in the world of diecast, Hot Wheels are solid proof of that.
A quick feature on the perfect MINI GT Land Rover Defender and definitely one of the best casting for 2020!
I had a vivid imagination as a kid. This is the proof.

Model: Peugeot 505 Release: Hot Wheels 1983 Mainline Ebay Link: Hot Wheels Peugeot 505 Why I am featuring it: I love some of the more obscure Hot Wheels models from the Black Wall era. This car was released in two colors in the US. The first was in 1982 in blue. The second was this …
The car is small, iconic, and Lancia are too rare at our scale. Having a Stratos in the collection is a necessity. If you choose CM's, you can't be wrong.
Real 427 Shelby Cobras sell for millions of dollars, but for a fraction of the price you can have a classic Cobra of your own...it may just be a *touch* smaller.
Welly have done a fabulous service to Polish and Eastern Bloc vehicles recently, and I'd originally planned to cover them all in one go, but the article sat in my drafts for a while, needing some tweaks to wording and photography. Then the new Single File series came along and gave me a good opportunity to split the cars up as some of them are unique to this scale.
