AUTOART 1971 Alfa Romeo GT Am

In 1971, at the peak of the American Muscle Car era, European performance enthusiasts were very much into the science of small-engine technology.

AUTOART Porsche 911 Carrera & 944 Turbo

Like a light in the darkness, Porsche offered a pure-breed line of obtainable sports cars in an otherwise low-performance era. The flagship of the brand was the 911 Carrera.

Imagine being able to stroll into the Ferrari headquarters and ask for a customized version of the famous 330 P3. That’s just what the 412P was, a “customer ordered” version of the prototype racing machine.

AUTOART 1963 Corvette Coupe

Of all Corvettes, the 1963 Coupe is the most memorable. It marked a new era for American sports cars in many ways. However, it is the unique “split window fastback” feature that makes it so collectible and instantly recognizable. A little-known fact is that there were more Corvette Coupes made in ’63 than any other […]

AUTOART 1970 Porsche 908/02 (McQueen)

Steve McQueen was the real deal. Not only was he one of the most talented and iconic actors of his time, but he was also a competitive race car driver—one who could run head to head with the best in the 1960s and ’70s. In the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring, McQueen and Peter Revson […]

Somewhere in New York City is a dozen circus clowns traveling around in Fiat 500 taxicab. At least that’s what the folks at Bburago believe. While image and reality are on different plains, there is no mistaking that this little yellow Italian is one cool-looking 1:18-scale diecast. The bright finish with checker graphics stands out […]
