Great collectible or gift piece. 1961 Lincoln X-100 Kennedy Presidential Limo diecast model car 1:24 scale die cast by Yat Ming is one of the best showcase model for any auto enthusiasts.


I do not usually review item's I buy on Amazon yet I am so pleased with the quality and detail of this product, I just had to rave. I have been collecting die cast models from the Franklin and the Danbury mint's for the past 20 years. I first purchased an inexpensive fire truck for my son. He loved and appreciated it so much, I became interested. I examined it and was quite impressed. I bought him 3 others. I than ordered the entire presidential series after I bought the model of Kennedy's blue Lincoln. The paint finish is unmatched. The detail and molding is hard to believe. No details were missed! Even small presidential seals adhered to the inside back doors. There is even carpeting on the floor boards and trunk! It is much better quality than the mint's for a 3rd of the price. Try it, you'll be hooked. - Timothy P. Madrid "Timitzer"-CA

HOT WHEELS FIRST EDITIONS BATMOBILE 2004


I collect bat mobiles, and haven't been happy with the new design since the 1966 George Barris version... until now ! This car enhances all the great features from the popular T.V. Series version. Everything from the domed windows and duel exhausts, to the extreme bat- winged tail fins, makes this one of my favorite Batman "Hot Wheel" car's ever ! The NEW purple and black paint job was the icing on the cake ! (Comment by Scott C. Derry "Toy Collector") See more.

NEW VERSION OF A CLASSIC CAR : TV SERIES BATMOBILES

Hot Wheels 2007 First Editions 1966 TV Series Batmobile #15/36. This car has the classic gloss black with red pinstripe paint job, mesh grill, black base and chrome wheels.

Comment this diecast by Davidp (Florid, October 17, 2007)
I've been a big fan of the T.V. Batmobile since I was a kid. I've collected several versions over the decades including the Corgi, and the Husky diecasts, but I was never quite satisfied because, no matter how nice they were, they just weren't quite right. This new Hot Wheels version, while not spot-on accurate, comes closer than the previous versions. I particularly like the red pinstriping down the sides, although it would've been nice if it continued around the front and rear of the car. But hey, this is a toy. If you're really hoping for the ultimate in accuracy, you'll have to wait until early 2008, when Hot Wheels will be be releasing their 1:18 scale diecast, which will be scanned from the original car used in the '66 television show. Until then, this little gem will do nicely. See more.
