Die Cast Collectibles, What Are They?
Automobile manufactures, over the years, have created "specialty" automobiles expressly for a company's unique product promotion or advertising needs. Some of these specialty automobiles have been painstakingly replicated, in die cast miniature models. Today these die-cast automobiles are referred to as collectible autos because they are sought after by many collectors worldwide.

After 3 years of work, 1949 marked the first new post-war styling for General Motors cars. The all-new Buick, designed by Ned Nickles from GMs new C-body, lived up to its ad slogan of looking “fine for ‘49. The Roadmaster convertible led the way, both in design and performance. From its aircraft-inspired low silhouette, Art Deco taillights, 25 tooth “Dollar Grin grille, and for the very first time, its legendary 4 “Ventiports, the design was completely new. Under the engine the changes were as dramatic. Not only did the Roadmaster come with the Fireball straight-8 150 horsepower engine, but also Dynaflow Drive, the worlds first conventional torque converter automatic transmission.

In its most radical restyling since 1936, Buick not only changed the look of its cars in 1959, but also changed their names. Gone were the Roadmaster, Super, Century and Special; replaced by the Le Sabre, Invicta and top-of-the-line Electra. This new styling helped Buick two ways. First, sales increased almost 20%, stopping a downward trend that had cost Buick 2/3rds of their sales since 1955. Second, critics, who had universally panned the 1958 models, liked both the look and performance of the ‘59’s. Featuring not only tail fins, but also a front fin, canted quad headlights, chrome block grille, the Electra 225 was longer and lower than previous models. The huge 401 cubic inch V-8 engine was not only bigger and faster, but also more economical, providing 2 more Miles Per Gallon. Make your die cast collection proud, order yours today!
