Classic Convertible Caddy

A classic convertible Cadillac. One could fit three, maybe four Nash Metropolitans in this car? Man, back in the day, American cars had style...and length...

Classic Nash Metropolitan



Check it out! My lovely bride photographed this classic motorcar at her workplace. It's a Nash Metropolitan. According to the Wikipedia, the Metropolitan was built between 1954 and 1962.

And from the photo you can see that it's a tiny car. The wheelbase is only 85 inches and overall vehicle length is 149.5 inches. The first generation Mazda Miata has a wheelbase of 89 inches and overall length of 155 inches.

Real Life Bentley Continental



Here's a photo of a 1:1 scale (real) Bentley Continental parked where my bride works at the local college.

Sure, this car is basically a re-bodied Volkswagen Phaeton with some Audi thrown into the mix but it's still a nice machine.

Now it's just too bad that we didn't have our camera phones that day when the Aston Martin DB9 was at the local frakking Wal-Mart!!

Classic Diecast 1974 Ford Torino

Okay, this diecast isn't red and doesn't have white stripes down its sides but this green Johnny Lightning Ford Torino still rocks.

Again, I say, back in the day American cars had style. I love this car's length and the up-swept rear fenders. Classic.

Diecast of the 1976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible

The 1970s Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible was the last great hurrah of American land-yachts. It was longer than a modern Chevy Suburban. This detailed 1/43 scale diecast is white with red interior. The only thing missing from this toy is Boss Hogg's bullhorns hood ornament.






1971 Buick Riviera - Diecast Car of the Day

Johnny Lightning makes awesome diecast cars. Here is a fantastic 1/64 scale 1971 Buick Riviera. You know, it's the Riviera with the cool boat-tail rear end.

Jada Toys Caddie Fleetwood

This is an awesome diecast. Check out the sweet rear-mounted spare tire. Say hi to the new Homies figures, Wolfe (in the shades) and Japon.










Homies Lincoln Town Car by Jada Toys

Another awesome diecast by Jada Toys. This Lincoln is wack, dawg. There's the pearl white paint job, the trunk-mounted spare tire, fancy wheels, and a detailed speaker system behind the rear seats.

Also give a shout out to new Homies figure Boxer. He's the one with the comically oversized fists.
