SIGNATURE MODELS 1/32 1936 CHRYSLER AIRFLOW DIECAST CAR MODEL

1936 Chrysler Airflow Diecast Car Model 1/32 Silver Die Cast Car by Signature Models

Total Corporate Sales Beat Ford 1936 was a great year for Chrysler with sales the best since 1929 and a profit record of 62.1 million. Even better, corporate sales topped 1 million and beat Ford. The Airstream design was radical for its time and much critized. Sales were not great but in the mid-1930's it gave Chysler much needed publicity. Our 1:32 scale precision diecast replica 1936 Chrysler Deluxe Airstream Sedan was built on the bigger 133 inc wheelbase. Powerd by the 273.8 cubic inch Inline 8 engine.

YAT MING 1/18 1962 OLDSMOBILE STARFIRE DIECAST MODEL

1962 Oldsmobile Starfire Diecast Model Black 1/18 Die Cast Car by Yat Ming

Late in the 1961 model year, Oldsmobile introduced the Starfire convertible as their personal luxury car. Sales and interest were enough that for 1962 Starfire became its own model line with the edition of the Holiday coupe. This hardtop became one of Oldsmobile's best selling models with 34,839 produced, compare to only 7,149 convertibles.

With its feature-light steering, pillow-soft ride and leather upholstery it had the luxury as advertised. Dual exhausts and a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor made the 345hp. V-8 a rocket launcher. And the brushed aluminum side trim didn't hurt either. In all, the Starfire helped Oldsmobile to its best year since 1956.

VANGUARDS 1/43 ROVER 2000

The Rover 2000 was introduced in 1963. It was one of the most innovative Rover models ever and a turning point in the design of the modern car. It had an all new overhead camshaft four cylinder engine, an all disc brake system and a deDion rear axel and was the first British car to be fitted exclusively with radial tyres. Its advanced engineering and styling earned it the accolade of ‘car of the year’, in the first year that this award was made. Later on, the 2000 range was extended with the V8 engined 3500 model which put Rover on the map as a high performance car.

BRISTISH RAIL SERVICE VANS OF THE 50’s AND 60’s

British Railways came into being in 1948 as an amalgamation of the four regional companies: Great Western (GWR), Southern (SR), London Midland & Scottish (LMS) and London & North Eastern (LNER). For about three years BR’s road transport fleet remained in the old companies’ liveries with ‘BRITISH RAILWAYS’ painted over the obliterated company names.

As new vehicles were purchased, these were painted in BR’s first standard livery colour of all-over maroon.

BR Southern Region Service Van

This Austin A40 van is in British Railways original all-maroon livery and carries the ‘double-sausages’ logo. This single-colour livery-colour livery was superseded during the 1950s by the so-called ‘blood and custard’ colour sheme of carmine and deep cream which itself was replaced by a ‘stone’ livery.

British Transport Hotels Van

The Morris Minor van in this set represents a light van in service with British Transport Hotels in the 1960s. It is in the all-over ‘stone’ livery that was used by British Rail from 1961, and carries the double-arrow logo—sometimes unkindly called ‘the arrows of indecision’. This logo persisted in use until early 1996.
