    These 1:18 scale cars are by Highway 61 (Ertl) and they are really cool. There are 8 different colored cars in the series; Some with 4 bangers, some with flatties, Street and lakes versions, etc. Racers have timing plaque, and they all have a little Don Montgomery photo book with a brief history of early Hot Rodding. They retail for anywhere between $40 and $60 per car, so shop around.
    Thought some of you might enjoy these pics...

    Josh shaw was in town about this time last year laying some flames on a customers car in my garage. I had just got the first car in the 4 banger series. I left it out in the garage for the guys to check out. Well they were up all night partying and working on the car. The next day I go in the garage to check out the 3 window they were SUPPOSED to be working on and found this. They were a little worried I might freak out since I had just paid $50.00 for this car and was telling them it was a collector one.

    Needless to day I was totally happy with what they had done and the guy with the 3 window bouht me another one anyway.

    Then I found the truck at a tow show and knew they had to go togeather.

    Roadstar, great minds think a like. [​IMG] I love your wheathering!

    The truck has a highly detailed Jimmy 6 cyl. It would make a cool power plant for an old racer.

    long as we're talking toys, anyone know if DUBCITY has a 51 ford. Was told by a buddy there is a shoebox but so far I've only found a 51 Merc/Lincoln. [​IMG]
