Anyone watching the auctions on television can tell you original is sweet – but there’s nothing like a resto-mod. More power, sure-footed handling, and superior braking all make for better driveability. That’s the idea behind M2 Machines’ “Auto-Drivers” series, now in its 13th release. The 1:64 selection includes a ’57 Chevy Bel Air with a […]

It Must be Love: Auto-Haulers Rolls New Releases in 1:64

M2 Machines’ Auto-Haulers seems to have struck a good nerve with collectors in 1:64, and the line is expanding with this Series 6 release. It’s sure working on us, right down to the retro-look logo M2 uses for the packaging on the wee trucks. The series includes a 1956 Ford C-500 Cab-Over-Engine toting a 1970 […]

Cover Cars : GreenLight’s ‘Zine Machines Series 2

Here Comes the Sun: Danbury Mint 1:24 1956 Ford Sunliner

Danbury Mint’s 1956 Ford Sunliner is a classic model of a classic car; a mold set that’s been around the scale block a few times, but was so good when it was first tooled that every fresh decoration makes it worth owning again. In this Sunset Coral and black, the car is one of the […]

They actually had a few neat, fairly inspired images in 1:18, including a wee BMW “Dixi” sedan, a substantially more […]
