Ghost Hunting: Kyosho Announces 1:43 Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase Cars

Rolls-Royce has been getting a lot of action in scale these days. You can thank a new energy at Goodwood for that; the licensing department that handles requests to craft these uber-elegant machines in scale has awakened to a potential revenue stream. Thanks to makers like Kyosho, that stream is resulting in some truly beautiful […]
Lap of Luxury: M&D International Rolls Out A Winner

Lap of Luxury: M&D International Rolls Out A Winner

Luxury Collectibles came out of left field (actually, Brooklyn, New York, by way of Florida and China) a couple of years ago, and got pushed out into the daylight by the father and son team of Drew and Matt Heitner. Drew is the head, and Matt the heir apparent, of M&D International, the worldwide point […]

Love a Parade: Legendary Motors’ 1956 Chrysler Parade Phaetons are here

Love a Parade: Legendary Motors’ 1956 Chrysler Parade Phaetons are here

Back before a certain November morning in Dallas, the idea of a presidential parade usually included a glimpse of the Commander in Chief, either seated in, or standing and waving from, a special parade car. If not the leader of the free world, then beauty pageant winners, television personalities, or foreign heads of state got […]

Tin Wizard Announces 1:43 Duesenberg SJ “Mormon Meteor” for Holiday 2011

White metal has long been a material of choice for crafting 1:43 models, and though the aptly-named German model company Tin Wizard has also used resin in the past, we’re betting that they’ll be potting a batch or two of alloy for an upcoming holiday-time release – the 1935 Duesenberg SJ “Mormon Meteor”. The Meteor […]
Brooklin 1:43 1937 Lincoln Le Baron Convertible: White Metal Wonder

Brooklin 1:43 1937 Lincoln Le Baron Convertible: White Metal Wonder

Trying to define what makes Brooklin collectors so fanatical about the models they love isn’t hard – especially once you start grouping more than a couple of the models together. That’s not to say that any one of these British-born creations aren’t entertaining as solo pieces. They’re wonderfully well built, beautifully finished off, and hefty […]

ABC 1:43 “Hayworth” Cadillac: The Royal Treatment

Hollywood royalty just ain’t what it used to be, especially when it comes to cars. Off-the-shelf blinged Escalades, store bought Ferraris, Bentleys, and Lambos (or their “green” nemeses – eco-friendly, celebrity-driven Priuses and Volts), simply lack star-level visual impact when heaving up to the curb. Back in the good old days, things were different – […]

Minichamps 1:43 BMW Z4M: Ultimate Bull

You would think that a German model car company making a model of a German car would be a perfect match – and in the case of this Minichamps BMW Z4M “Red Bull” racing coupe, modeled after the winning car shared by Quester, Mullen, Stuck, and Werner at the 2006 24 hours of Silverstone, you’d […]

Minichamps 1:43 Porsche “Mark Donohue” Set: Calling Captain Nice

Like Rudolf “Rudi” Uhlenhaut before him, Mark Donohue was an engineer who also happened to be a gifted race car driver – a dual personality that allowed him to return from the track with a head full of ideas on how to improve a car’s performance, and the nuts-and-bolts knowledge on how those improvements could […]
