Die Cast Model Cars:
- Fully built scale model cars made of die cast metal are very popular among collectors. These models are manufactured in various scales like 1:12, 1:18, 1:24, 1:43, and 1:64, among others
- Larger-scale premium models today are generally made with attention to details which replicate a real model, such as a working steering which steers the wheels in larger models, doors, trunk/boot, and hood/bonnet that open (the latter showing a detailed engine complete with things such as an exhaust system and/or other items contained in a typical car engine), and tyres mounted on a workable suspension system. In smaller scales some of the details are often eliminated. So, e.g. in 1:32, 1:48, or 1:43 scale cars, the steering and wheels generally do not work. Likewise, only the front doors and hood might be functional, with non-opening rear doors and trunk. (There are exceptions to this, of course.)
- However, the concept of these models generally began with far simpler toys in smaller scales, such as Dinky Toys (often 1:43), production of which began in 1934, and Matchbox cars (often approx. 1:64), introduced in the mid-'50s. Early die-cast toys featured no opening parts whatsoever. Affected by market forces and by improvements in production technology, companies began to improve the quality of the toys over time. The "best" improvements were often copied by the competition within 1-2 years of their appearance on the market. Examples of these would be plastic windows, interiors, separate wheel/tire assemblies, working suspensions, opening/moving parts, headlights, mask-spraying or tampo-printing, and low-friction wheel/suspension aggregates
- Organized collecting of toy car models developed quickly, particularly in the UK and the USA. At first, collectors seeking models and their variations (in a manner similar to stamp or coin collecting) began cataloguing the models, driving the value for rare items up. This led to a reaction by the market as well, as in the late 1970s at the latest, in a movement started by Matchbox, the wishes and perceived desires of collectors were intentionally catered to in an attempt to capture a higher-price market segment. This movement eventually gave rise to the premium segment of the market as we know it today
- The collectors market also led to licensing aspects not known until the '80s. Typically, companies that make die-cast model cars will have a licensing arrangement with real car manufacturers to make replicas of their cars, whether they be concepts, in current production, or of models no longer produced. Companies whose logos are printed onto the models also enter similar licensing agreements

07-19-2011- Other Thoughts: We bought this as a housewarming gift for my aunt, who collects firetrucks. It may seem strange as a gift for an adult with no children, but it was just what we were looking for. Also, my 2 year-old likes to sit in it when she visits my aunt (too short to pedal it, but rings the bell) and she loves that magnets stick to it!

05-30-2011- Other Thoughts: Love this Handmade Car Model. My grandson can't get enough of it. My only disappointment was it was left outside in the sun and the paint turned sort of purplish.

06-06-2011- Other Thoughts: We bought this Vintage Iron Car Model as a gift, it arrived on time, no damage on the packaging or inside, no scratches at the paint, excellent! <br/> <br/>It takes around 1 1/2 hours to assamble it by myself, just a few hand tools are needed. It has 3 different positions on the pedals to fit any length. <br/> <br/>I just wanted a more "solid or durable tires" looks like the rubber is going to be out in 1 year. <br/> <br/>I recomend you 100% this product, It is awesome look the kid's face once they have it! <br/> <br/>Thks
