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.
Die-Cast Scale Model Explained.
Die cast collectibles, miniature cars, radio controlled automobiles, model cars, model motorcycles, model ships, etc., are scaled down replicas of an original item. A 1:18 scale Ford die-cast collectible means that the die cast collectible is 1/18th the size of the original Ford. A 1:24 scale Ford die-cast collectible means that the die cast collectible is 1/24th the size of the original Ford. A 1:32 scale Ford die-cast collectible means that the die cast collectible is 1/32nd the size of the original Ford. A 1:43 scale Ford die-cast collectible means that the die cast collectible is 1/43rd the size of the original Ford. To further illustrate, a 1/18 scale Ford die-cast collectible automobile means that roughly 18 Ford die-cast automobiles would need to be stacked on top of each other and placed end-to-end to equal approximately the same size as the originally built Ford automobile.

But no car brought forth the reaction of the Ford Fairlane Skyliner with the Retractable Roof. So popular was this look that Ford was able to reclaim sales supremacy from Chevrolet. Life magazine called it the “birth of a mechanical miracle and the “most exciting idea in car design since Fords first 2-door sedan in 1915. Making the retractable hardtop work was a triumph of engineering. It required 10 relays, 10 limit switches, 4 lock motors, 3 drive motors, and over 600 feet of wire, to go from coupe to convertible.

For 5 years in the late 70s, TV viewers were transfixed by the original “buddy pair of detectives- Starsky and Hutch. Driving around in Starsky's 75 Ford Gran Torino, ignoring Captain Dobeys orders, the pair managed to amuse themselves, chase chicks, and still catch the bad guys, all in one hour. This 1:36 scale replica, like the original, is completely stock except for the disc mag wheels, oversized tires, and bucket seats, installed to stop Hutch from sliding into Starsky every time they rounded a corner.
