I have a pal that had paid up to about $450 for 1:16-1:24 "Franklin Mint"-ish trucks and automobiles. They put my $25-50 dollar Solido 1:16-1:24 to shame too. That price was twenty years ago mînd you

[More than] twenty years ago I was in Hong Kong sorting out the details of the Right of Way 3 color signals, which by the way, were made by the same contract manufacturer that made Matchbox, Hot Wheels, and Franklin Mint cars among others. They had a red '57 Chevy convertible and a red '66 GTO on display in 1/24th for Franklin Mint. Not to bust anybody's chops but I asked how much they cost. I was told $13.
