Round 2 / AMT Tire Set

Round 2 / AMT Tire Set

As if a set of Goodyear “Blue Streaks” weren’t nostalgic enough, AMT’s set of eight “Dragway Special” drag slicks comes in a package that looks pretty much like a hobby store foundling — which means that it’s cool as heck, and just the kind of thing that Round 2 embraces so well. The hollow vinyl […]
Auto World Dodge Monaco Police Cars

Auto World Dodge Monaco Police Cars

  Many of the same details of the “Hazzard” car have made it onto this pair of ’74 Dodge Monaco State Trooper cars, of course, and if you dig cop cars, you’re in luck. The models get it right, starting with the overall look – blocky, big, and rolling on dog-dish-capped wheels, with authentic markings […]

Auto World Dukes of Hazzard Police Car

Auto World Dukes of Hazzard Police Car

The Dukes of Hazzard television show that ran from 1979 to 1985 wasn’t exactly a paragon of support for traffic safety (or the preservation of Dodge Chargers). But it was a fun show to watch, especially when the Duke boys were being chased by Sheriff Rosco Coltrane (James Best) with his lights blazing and siren […]
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 […]
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 […]
