Spy Shots: New Casting Coming Soon, From Greenlight

Greenlight’s soon-to-debut 2012 Dodge Charger is shaping up to be a great looking piece. We haven’t heard yet as to which series the mold will go to, or when this casting will make its debut – but we’ll share the news when we do. In the meantime, enjoy the sneak peek!

Hot Wheels Elite 1:43 Ferrari 250GT SWBs: Power Trio

Mattel knows a thing or two about manufacturing might; the toy giant has long been a model for concept-to-consumer planning in the hobby and games segment, with licensing, delivery, and market awareness playing into its every move. A few years back, that included a boost to the Hot Wheels brand vis a vis a groundbreaking […]

A Pre-Production Look at M2 Machines Chevy El Camino

Our friends at M2 Machines recently shared with us these pre-production photos of their soon to be released 1:64 “Ground Pounders” 1970 Chevy El Camino. With its metallic green paint and blower poking through the hood, this is one bad ride. We can’t wait to get these in-house for a closer look!

ABC 1:43 “Hayworth” Cadillac: The Royal Treatment

Hollywood royalty just ain’t what it used to be, especially when it comes to cars. Off-the-shelf blinged Escalades, store bought Ferraris, Bentleys, and Lambos (or their “green” nemeses – eco-friendly, celebrity-driven Priuses and Volts), simply lack star-level visual impact when heaving up to the curb. Back in the good old days, things were different – […]

Chevrolet was founded in Detroit, in November 1911, by racer Louis Chevrolet and General Motors founder William C.“Billy” Durant, who developed cars that quickly earned reputations for performance, durability and value. Those traits remain at the core of Chevrolet, which is the world’s fourth-largest automotive brand. From the very start, Chevrolet brought technology and features […]

Sunstar 1:24 AEC Regent Bus: Double Decker Fun

Bus models are a big part of the Sunstar lineup, and we’d seen some of these 1:24 double deckers before – but this 1946 AEC Regent really grabbed us, with its tall, skinny architecture, petite stairways and railings, and the artful little details that abound everywhere. Sunstar’s really good at making the big and little […]

Birth of the Sting Ray

The 1963 model year brought a new body style to the Chevrolet Corvette, and introduced the Sting Ray “split-window” coupe, arguably the most iconic Corvette ever produced. And now AUTOart has brought us the most beautifully rendered model of this iconic car in 1:18 that I’ve ever seen. Over the first 10 years of the […]
