BOS (Best of Show) Mercedes C220

BOS (Best of Show) Mercedes C220

It’s been argued that the 2.2-liter Mercedes-Benz C220 that debuted in 1993 was as much a result of the advent of the microchip as it was a need to pen a successor to Mercedes’ everyman-level 190. The logic (no pun intended) was simple: take a lesson from the makers of those silicon wonders and learn […]
GreenLight Black Bandit Series 8

GreenLight Black Bandit Series 8

No matter what the machine, black cars look cool, period. If you agree, you’ve probably been pulled in by GreenLight’s slick as hell “Black Bandit” series of menacing rides. That color, or lack thereof, extends to more than the cars’ bodies; the models — a 2012 Chevy COPO Camaro, a 2012 Shelby Mustang, a 1974 […]

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari Enzo “Monza Test”

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari Enzo “Monza Test”

Here’s how you make things happen on a track when you’re Ferrari: first, you design a mythically beautiful road car (like the Enzo). Then, you add a whole lot of outlandish and exclusive goodies to it, to make it scream, and then, you find a place (Monza) and a driver (Andrea Bertolini) to get your […]
Ottomobile Volkswagen Caddy

Ottomobile Volkswagen Caddy

Here’s the good thing about OTTO’s 1:18 models: they’re killer. They are cars you’ll never see in diecast, not even if you reach a Methuselian age. Here’s the bad part: They usually sell out. Fast. And it is with both of those statements in mind that we present this outstanding little Volkswagen “Caddy” pickup. Sold […]

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 458 Italia “Special LM Corse”

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 458 Italia “Special LM Corse”

Because too much is never enough (and for many of the same reasons stated above), there’s another fast-freak Ferrari out from Hot Wheels Elite – this 458 Italia “Special LM Corse,” deco’d on HWE’s excellent (and frequently reviewed, here) 458 GT2 mold set, and patterned to look like the machine that Rui Aguas, Robert Kauffman […]
Hot Wheels Elite One “Flintmobile”

Hot Wheels Elite One “Flintmobile”

Back in the mid-’fifties, The Honeymooners ruled the TV airwaves in glorious black and white. Folks loved the working-class characters, the everyday trials and tribulations of the Kramden and Norton families, and how things always worked out by the time the credits rolled. In the early 1960s, animation giant Hanna-Barbera took the Honeymooners formula and […]
Auto World/Lindberg Line 1957 Chevy model kit

Auto World/Lindberg Line 1957 Chevy model kit

As stuck on ready-to-display automotive collectibles as we are, it’s hard not to enjoy the rattle of a box full of parts just waiting to become a finished model car – especially when the name on the box is as memory-inducing as this “Lindberg Line” kit of a 1957 Chevrolet Ragtop. Auto World sure knows […]
Hot Wheels Elite One Dark Knight Rises “Bat”

Hot Wheels Elite One Dark Knight Rises “Bat”

The latest film in the Batman Dark Knight trilogy was pretty dark, indeed. There were forced blood transfusions, fellows getting thrown from airplanes, and all kinds of horrific attacks on Gotham — all done at the behest of a villain who spoke through what appeared to be a re-purposed drive-in movie speaker. When he wasn’t […]
Minichamps “Red Bull” Renault RB7  “S. Vettel Japan GP”

Minichamps “Red Bull” Renault RB7 “S. Vettel Japan GP”

One of the best parts of poring over a model like this Minichamps’ 1:18 Renault RB7 is comparing the model to the real thing – a pretty easy task, given the virtual reams of photos and multiple cyber-shrine web pages that follow this one’s pilot, Sebastian Vettel. It’s even more fun when the model is […]
