ERTL 1/18 1970 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SX DIECAST MODEL CAR
The history of Oldsmobile was a rollercoaster ride that lasted for 107 years and then quietly ended in 2004 but their legacy lives on as diecast model cars. The Oldsmobile Cutlass became America's best seller in 1976 with a lot of popularity based on rave reviews about its Rocket V8 engine. They may be gone for good, but your diecast muscle car collection will keep it remembered forever.
The 1970 Cutlass came in seven body styles with this being a beautiful 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX Diecast Model. With GM tossing out the 400 cubic inch limit for intermediates and the 442 now coming standard with the larger 455 cubic inch Rocket V8 from the big Oldsmobiles and previously used in the 1968-69 Hurst/Olds, Olds discontinued the 400 engine entirely and also offered the 455 as an option in the Cutlass S models.

SIGNATURE MODELS 1/18 1917 REO TOURING
Automobile innovator Ransom Rli Olds formed the REO Motor Co. in 1904 after his penchant for the technical side of the business led him into confrontations that drove him from his name sake company, Oldmobile. With his new company, which Olds named by using his own initials, he set out to make luxury cars at reasonable prices, using the slogan "The Gold Standard of Value." The top-of-the-line model had a wheelbase of 126 inches with luxurious upholstery and seating for seven with its rear jump set. The three speed, six-cylinder engine was capable of producing 30.50 horsepower.
MAISTO 1/18 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO SILVER
BURAGO 1/18 PORSCHE 911 TURBO
VANGUARDS 1/43 MGB - BRONZE YELLOW
British Leyland's internal politics meant that the MGB was not replaced in the early seventies as initially planned but was given small face lifts every year. It received standard Rostyle wheels, rocker switches, rubber-faced overriders, bright lurid colours reflecting the zeitgeist and in 1973 the grille centres and wipers became matt-black.
The car modelled is a famous press and publicity vehicle, photographed on 30th August 1972, and is reproduced as it was that day. The pictures appeared in brochures, newspapers, books and other publicity material. However, research by The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust shows that the number plate AKO 181L appeared on many other BL publicity cars. Shop here
