CMC Magic: 1:18 Maserati 300S is Another Bolt from the Blue

CMC’s 1:18 Maserati 300S is another bolt from the blue (well, okay, it’s red, but you get what we mean) from a company with an almost Thor-like capacity to hit their target time after time.

Paragon / Jadi’s 1968 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward coupe is one of the breakout surprises of 2012 – a smashing good model (if we can borrow from the British vernacular) that shows an entirely new level of finesse, detail, and yes… cool (strictly American). The doors, hood, and trunk open, the wheels steer, […]

To The Max: Auto World’s “Legends of the Quarter Mile” 1971 “Blue Max” Mustang

Funny Cars were truly serious machines – outrageous fiberglass “flopper” bodies over tube rail chassis, and huge, blown engines that shot flames out of “zoomie” headers made the cars visually compelling, and real crowd pleasers. Now, the scale collecting crowd is in for a treat, thanks to Auto World and their new “Legends of the […]
