MOTOR MAX 1/18 - 1953 BUICK SKYLARK
1953 Buick Skylark Diecast Model Red 1/18 Die Cast Car By Motormax
Buicks post-war styling feature was dropped for their 50th Anniversary dream car, the Skylark convertible. Part of G.M.'s 1953 class of production dream cars, along with the Cadillac El Dorado, Chevrolet Corvette, and Oldsmobile Fiesta, the Skylark had a unique look designed to complete with Erupean styling. Most dramatic was the lack of rear skirt. To this open look were added sporty Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels.
VANGUARDS 1/43 LAND ROVER - MET POLICE SETAC
We can see this Landie having a lot of appeal to a variety of collectors. The Met used these Special Equipped Traffic Accident Cars (SETAC) for many years, and it was a role the series IIa was well suited to. The front light arrangement is not quite convincing though. Shop here

MATCHBOX REGULAR WHEEL NO.51A - ALBION CHIEFTAN
A yellow Albion Chieftan Flat bed Truck with a pale brown load (51a) had ‘Portland Cement’ decals on the cab doors in a circle and on the truck sides in two lines. Very quickly the decals on the sides of the truck were increased to read, ‘Blue Circle Portland Cement’. Both the truck and the load were subject to colour shades, generally becoming lighter as time went on. All four tyres of wheels were fitted, with both the grey and rarer silver plastic wheels even appearing in two sizes.

The 1/32 scale John Deere 7500 self propelled forage harvester, fitted with a detachable eight row maize header, is loaded with detail and includesa glazed cab, opening engine compartments which reveal a detailed engine and a steerable knob over the engine compartment for the carpet farmer to steer this impressive machine.

SCHUCO 1/43 MERCEDES-BENZ L 319 PORSCHE SUPPORT VAN
The Mercedes-Benz L 319 was the company’s first delivery van design after WWII, premiering in 1955. It was designed to carry payloads from 1.6 to 1.9 tons and was available in a variety of configurations: Delivery van, small bus, pickup and even as a cab/chassis for customer applications. Mercedes applied its usual engineering prowess and innovation to create a forward cab design with a slightly rounded, enclosed structure, creating a load-bearing box. The mechanical design was intentionally simple with solid axles and leaf springs, and options for gas and diesel engines from the Mercedes passenger car program. The L 319 was a huge commercial success with over 120,000 built when it was replaced in 1968 by the T2 series. Shop here
HOT WHEELS 1/50 1966 TV SERIES BATCYCLE VEHICLE
The original Batcycle designed for the TV series was built from a Yamaha Catalina 250. The attached sidecar featured a portable go-cart with its own Yamaha engine that propelled off the sidecar when Batman™ slowed down or stopped. The Batcycle was customized with a batshield molded into the fairing and fender guard. Since its first appearance in the 1940s, the futuristic gadgets and unique styling of the Batmobile appealed to car lovers everywhere. This Hot Wheels line pays homage to the history of the Batmobile with our second series of 1:50 scale vehicles, using models specific to the Batman movies, comic books, animated series, and television show.

HOT WHEELS 1/50 1966 TV SERIES BATMOBILE VEHICLE
The Bat Mobile designed for the 1966 Batman TV Series was based on the Ford Motor Company's Lincoln Futura concept car. When approached to create a coar for the TV show, custom car builder George Barris decided the Ford Futura was the perfect fit. With existing bat-like features such as long fins and a bubble canopy, other "bat-gadgets" were added such as the nose-mounted chain slicer, on-board telephone and police beacon. This year, our Hot Wheels version has been modified with a trailer hitch to tow the 1966 Bat Boat. See more
