ACME 1:18 1932 Ford Coupe

What a great time it was. On any given Friday night at the local hangout, every little town in America has a ’32 running down the street looking for some traffic light trouble. This would have been the one every kid wanted and had all their dad’s secretly dreaming of building one. It was also […]

Minichamps’ 2009 Lamborghini LP670-4SV

Take the latest all-wheel-drive Murcielago, add a big wing and some aero tweaks, pump the V-12 engine up to 670 Italian-born stallions, and you’ve got a 200-plus MPHhot rod Lambo capable of reaching 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. That’s what Italians call “Super Veloce”. Minichamps’ new 1/43 diecast model is an exceptionally precise scaling […]

Hard Boiled: AUTOArt Koenigsegg CCX

With twin superchargers, 800-plus horsepower, undeniable style, and the kind of exclusivity that only cars in its price class can carry, the mid-engine CCX from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg (say KER-nig-zegg) can roughhouse with any of the top supercars on the road today. AUTOart’s slick black model of the car is finished off to perfection […]

Ready Set Foose: M2 Machines Shares Some Pre-Production Images

Richard Mena and the team at M2 Machines were kind enough to share some pre-production images of their latest endeavor. As a company who redefined the small scale diecast market the question became how do they top what they already accomplished? The answer – partner with one of the world most respected craftsman in the […]

Rock With Brock: M2 Machines 1956 Ford F-100

Most classic truck enthusiasts agree: the 1956 Ford F-100 is one of the most recognized and respected pickup trucks from the 1950s. Its aggressive nose, wide body, and even wider wheel wells made it tough-looking back then – and these days, those same features make it one of the most desirable platforms on which to […]

The Great Cerritos Shrinking Machine: AUTOart’s Incredible 1:43 Countach

It’s a fair bet that somewhere in Cerritos, California, there exists a massive – though well-hidden – machine that is capable of reducing full sized automobiles to scale models you can palm. We haven’t seen it – yet – but we’re pretty sure that it exists somewhere deep below the warehouses and offices of Gateway […]

Son of the Desert: OTTO Model’s 1:18 Citroen “Sahara”

When Citroen decided to develop a four-wheel-drive system for their iconic, yet pokey 2CV, they did something typically Citroen: rather than engineer a set of troublesome rods, linkages and drive shafts to send engine power rearward, they simply installed another engine and transaxle in the car’s trunk. Voila! Four-wheel-drive. To say that it worked well […]

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. Coming soon is this Chinese Red 1938 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria, based on an actual, mostly original car that’s on display at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. The museum car – the full-sized one – purportedly has less than […]

OTTO Know: New 1:18 Ford Fiesta XR2 from OTTO Models

People wonder why we love OTTOmobile models so much – if they’ve even heard of OTTO at all. Doesn’t ring a bell, huh? You’re not alone. OTTO – which is based in France – has been making hella-good scale models of cars most Americans have never seen, for the past several years. That’s not exactly […]

SPY SHOTS! ACME Re-Fires Real Art Replicas!

You’d think that the hyper-slick photography we usually employ (if we do say so ourselves) would be the type of image we’d get excited about around here. But you’d be wrong. The photos we love – like these, from an undisclosed location far away, via ACME Trading – are the grainy, badly-lit kind you usually […]
