Photo: M3 Diecast - Dodge Charger

This 1971 Dodge Charger is a good looking 1:64-scale diecast car from M3.  The great thing about 1:64 scale cars is that you can fit a ton of them in storage space that would only hold a few 1:18 scale cars.

Diecast Ferrari F50

A Goodwill Thrift Store offered this combination of speed, power, and Italian design for only $7.  That's a hefty savings over the regular price of a Ferrari F50.

The Ferrari F50 is powered by a 4.7 liter V-12 engine that develops 512 horsepower.  It gets 7 miles per gallon in the city and 10 miles per gallon the highway.

Copo, Copo, Corvette!

The Hot Wheels 1969 Copo Corvette

The 1969 Copo Corvette was a race ready Chevrolet Corvette with power in spades!  In 2011, Hot Wheels introduced their own '69 Copo Corvette and it really looks ready to roll!

Hot Wheels Photography Tip

If you have a series of lines in your photo running next to your die-cast car, it will give the illusion of motion and direction.  Even though this car is standing still, it looks like it is running fast.

Welcome to the Daily Diecast Car Blog!

This blog is all about die-cast cars from big 1:18 scale diecast models down to smaller matchbox-sized cars.  I'll share my collection and cover cars from AutoArt, Bburago, Hotwheels, Johnny Lightning, Matchbox, Maisto and many other manufacturers. I hope you enjoy the photos, facts, figures, and stories that I'll share.  I'd like to read your comments, too.  Starting September 1st, my mission is to present a new diecast car photo each and every day!  Come back on September 1st and check us out!

I'm kicking things off with this premium Hot Wheels '56 Ford Delivery called "Editors Choice."  According to the Hot Wheels Wiki site, the model was released back in 2001.  I remember the packaging said something about the car being associated with a Hot Rod magazine.  Yeah, Yeah, this car would be more valuable in its original package.  But, my wheels were made to roll . . . 

You'll see ads on this blog.  They'll come from Amazon and from Adsense.  I get to customize the ads from Amazon and I'll be using them to showcase even more kick ass diecast cars.  Definitely feel free to browse! Have fun!
