Reply to "Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them"

90 degree day, but spent 30 minutes up in pop’s attic and found some good stuff. I couldn’t open as soon as I got home so I waited for my dad and we opened the one box together later on. Combination of Solido, Rio, Corgi, Roadchampa, Matchbox Kings, Saico, Brooklyn Models, Elicor. Voters, Yat ming, Ertl. and maybe some I forgot. Hope you guys enjoy! Pop might be gone but I know he’d enjoy the heck outta helping me with my layout- and he still is:

General shot, the PCC on the right is something I already had, courtesy of good ol Popito of course!

Another general shot but I’ll give some detail. Taxi is Solido as is the bright red car (‘54 Mercedes 300SL), up front with the blue body and darker tan roof is a pretty cool Dinky, behind that a road champs jeep

9F1A9A2F-84C0-41EF-85A1-471335C01AB2

These were in the “other room” in the attic(not under the sheet and things Pop just accumulated. The green truck, trailer, un-boxed VA state trooper police car all roadchamps, next to the boxed Corgi is a Mathbox Superking X4 carrying a jet. Auto Carrier is of an unknown make but really cool. Behind that is something obviously prettty big- it’s a wind up with that good old “made in US Zone Germany underneath”

Here from left to right(all 1/43): Rio Nazi staff car( will go well with the Corgi 1/50 soldiers I got at Nick Smith’s- in no way do I support the Nazis- but everyone hates them so and they’re the bad guys in my current military conflict in my layout with a Butt whooping coming), next Brooklyn Models Edsel Citation, then the brown car on the right is anotherBrooklyn Models 41 Packard- those guys are HEAVY!

White car in the front is a pretty massive Rolls Corniche, behind that guy(from left to right): Maker unknown(just a “flashy S” on the bottom)-55 Bel Air, the blue and green convertibles(again unknown maker but both of them start with an SS in their production #s),, brown one is a 48 Chrysler Windsor, and the one with its rear towards us is of that same unknown make. 1st silver car after that is a Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 and behind him is that unknown maker again. The unknown maker appears to be 1:32 scale, unforuntately/ but still pretty cool!

Vitese 1953 Cadillac Eldorado with Dwight Eisenhower. My dad got that for myPop for Christmas one yearimage

The truck cab is actually Lionel- unfortunately no trailer has been found(yet ). Corgi Chevy Highway patrol(seems between 1/43& 1/50), tootsie Action news van, Ertl Deli supply truckimage

Really happy to have found all of these guys since my layout is finally going to be adding at least 4x8 in space. Likely won’t use half of the 1/43 scales because they’re just too big but I’m super grateful to have been able to add these to my collection and can’t wait to put’em on my layout! Hope you guys enjoy! one last shot:
