GMP 1:18 “Satin ’32”: Good Call

GMP 1:18 “Satin ’32”: Good Call

A mold set that yields, say, ten models is considered a good call in the diecast industry. But one that yields over 20? That takes the meaning of the phrase “good call” to an almost mythic level. Just such a model is GMP’s 1932 Ford, a bit of tooling that’s delivered a veritable fleet of […]
Minichamps 1:18 Fiat 500: Ciao, Baby

Minichamps 1:18 Fiat 500: Ciao, Baby

Here’s an Italian lesson for you: Bring your jaw forward a bit, and say “cheen-quay-CHEN-toh”. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Add in a little hand language – a slow, loose-fingered rolling of the right hand in a circular motion, at around shoulder height, should do – and you might pass for a native. Show up to […]

Minichamps 1:18 1983 VW Beetle: Humble is Good

Humble origins can make for noble ends, and few cars have ever enjoyed the loyalty and fervor bestowed on the Volkswagen Beetle. In return, it provided solid, thrifty transportation for millions of Volks folks worldwide for the better part of a sixty-five year production run. I really like this model of the VW, as done […]

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari FXX: Special FXX

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari FXX: Special FXX

Given its rarity, the thought of taking a Ferrari Enzo and morphing it into a track-only machine (especially one that you can’t drive unless Ferrari says you can, despite a two-mil plus tip-in) almost seems criminal… until you actually see one of the 30 hyper-exclusive, close-to-800 horsepower FXX Evoluziones built in addition to the already […]

Kyosho 1:18 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan: Well-Warmed

Cadillac’s CTS is a solid performer in base, V6 trim; add in the V series’ supercharged 556-horsepower 6.2 liter V8 and hyper-performance bells and whistles, and you have a world-class sedan with “fastest production V8 sedan in the world” cred. This model of the vaunted V comes via Kyosho, and it follows up the sweet […]

AUTOART 1948 Porsche 356

The fortitude of the human spirit is an amazing thing. One of history’s greatest examples of this is the Porsche 356. The two-seat sports car was introduced in 1948. Consider the fact that nearly all of Germany’s industry was completely destroyed by World War II. This meant that Porsche created an amazing little road car […]
GMP 1932 3-Window Coupe

GMP 1932 3-Window Coupe

HOT RODDING, BY ITS VERY NATURE, was intended to be a raw form of unbridled performance. It was a no-frills, gut-wrenching affair with speed. As the genre grew from the ’50s to the ’70s, rods got more accommodating to everyday driving. In the ’90s and beyond, these machines were transformed into gadget-laden money pits that […]
