MOTOR MAX 1/18 - 1953 BUICK SKYLARK

1953 Buick Skylark Diecast Model Red 1/18 Die Cast Car By Motormax


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
