The 1930 Cadillac Imperial with Armor Plating

Cadillac Imperial from Diecast Muscle.com

Price: 120.00

Scale 1/24

Free shipping from Diecast Muscle

Another classic from the Franklin Mint. While the site doesn’t offer much detail about the scale car, I can ony imagine that its a real detail model (especially considering the price and the maker of this vehicle).

This would look good with other post 1929 crash era of US car history. Somehow I can see the movie scene for this too. Very unique. A bit of history and Hollywood at the same time.

Now I didn’t watch the movie Redline (came out in April of 2007), but it did interest me mostly because if was a movie starring cars, bikes and hooked up trucks and SUVs.

Here are some of the cars featured in the move and can be bought as diecast vehicles.

1967 Mustang Shelby GT-500E Eleanor… WOW

1967 Mustang Shelby GT-500E Eleanor on DiecastFast.com

Price: $49.99

Scale: 1/18

This thing is hot! SWEET!!! Based off of the remake of the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds”. I’m not sure about the color (silverish gray with sparkles???) but its still fly. Fly I said!

What is the Shelby Mustang?

The Shelby Mustang is a performance muscle car from the 1960s. It was a series of Ford Mustangs which were specially modified by Carroll Shelby‘s company and sold as a series. The program was factory-sponsored and production was eventually moved in-house. The spirit of the series continues today in the special Mustang Cobra models.

There are other Mustang diecast vehicles on the page too… so take a look. I see one in particular that I will be posting on later (actually 2).

Disney Pixar CARS Movie 1:55 Die Cast Car with White Wall Tires

55 Die Cast Car LOOSE Cruisin' McQueen with White Wall Tires So, Pixar comes out with a movie about cars that can talk… you say that’s not new. K.I.T.T. was talking when Pixar was all but a dream.

Never the less, I love the toy cars they came out with relating to the movie (that was released soooo many moons ago)

The car is at 1/55 scale (wack) but its still cool. It costs about 5.99 so its not gonna hurt your pocket to by one… for the kids… or to put one on a birthday cake of the special someone.

Get it here if your interested: Toywiz.com

By the way, it would seem that allot of the items do not have packaging but who needs that? LOL
