Hail, Victoria: Automodello Sees Red On Their ’38 Packard Twelve

Automodello continues to surprise collectors with new releases of well chosen, beautifully executed model cars.

FIRST SAMPLES: Minichamps Mullin Collection 1:43 Hispano-Suiza “Xenia”

Sorry, gamers: “Xenia” is not a warrior queen from some cyber realm, and we won’t be seeing any curvaceous armor-clad vixens by that name toting barbed swords any time soon. What we will see, however, is this Xenia – a model of the one-off 1938 Dubonnet/Saoutchik Hispano-Suiza H6C that bore a body designed by Jaques […]

Henri Chapron couldn’t have dreamed the real life story that would be written around the creation he delivered on June 21, 1939; Delage D8-120 chassis number 51760 had been fashioned into a cabriolet with an eight cylinder engine of just over 115 horsepower, and its mechanicals and frame were of the latest design from Courbevoie […]

Queen Mary’s Daimler: Oxford Goes Old School in 1:43

Old toy cars have a feel to them that a majority of the new stuff can’t match. No, it’s true: heft an old Corgi, or palm a chipped-up, decades-old Matchbox car, and you’ll see what we mean. All is not lost; some makers – especially those centered in England – seem to keep that […]

Luxury Collectibles 2011 Cadillac SRX

Among upper crust CUVs, few have the sheer presence of the Cadillac SRX. It’s got Caddy DNA in its spade-shaped face and finny tail lamps, and its V6 power and humbler proportions call to those who want Caddy luxury in a smaller size. Fittingly enough, it’s Luxury – as in Luxury Collectibles – who […]

Rolls-Royce has been getting a lot of action in scale these days.
