AUTO REWIND: Supercar Collectibles’ 1:18 “Super Street” 1969 Camaros

We wonder if the fellows who designed the 1969 Camaro had any inkling at all of what it was they were creating, or how much of an impact the car would have on the American car culture. Sure, there were others that got to the pony car party before it – but when it came […]

From “The Vault”: Sword/TWH’s Classic Tuff Trucks Revisited

To the uninitiated, the scale of one to fifty might sound like a level of reduction that could make detail and features hard to see and appreciate. Nope. To those truck and equipment collectors who know and love the scale – and boy, do they ever – well done 1:50 models offer a perfect balance […]

This livery runs contrary to the simple white […]

XCO 1:64 Lexus GS450h: One From Out of “Dabox”

Back when the Internal Combustion Engine was first making its presence known, folks would put money on impromptu horse vs. automobile races. The horses, who needed nothing more than a bale of hay and a shot of spur to get them motivated, would usually be at the finish line happily chomping oats while the home-tuned […]
