Auto World has been the king lately for making classic American cars that would not normally be replicated in diecast, especially wagon's.  Well, while Greenlight has not gotten to that point yet (for now), they have been making some more mainstream sedans that would go great with TV and Movies and for police car, taxi, or just general family purchases.  These are not high-end muscle cars, either...or are they???  As it turns out they're more like sleepers, and of course i'm talking about the 1967 Chevy Impala sedan and now this new 1967 Ford Custom 500 sedan.

This is one big feast here with 1969 Camaro's from M2:  In addition to these 1:64 vehicles shown here also i'll review two, soon to be three, of the 1:24 1969 Camaro's that I have and what each one uniquely offers.  These two, as in the M2 1958 Chevy Apache trucks that I reviewed a few weeks ago, have two different ways of showing off the 1969 Camaro more than just the trim levels.

While often a car misunderstood by the general public and given a bad rap sheet thanks to Ralph Nader's "Unsafe at Any Speed" controversy, the Chevy Corvair still continues to gain support from collectors and a select few individual who consider Chevy's first compact cat to be a technical marvel; and I agree though I also think GM never really thought through this car carefully before production, especially the swing-axle rear-end (more on that later).  Nevertheless you can find replica's of this casting, but beware as they tend to disappear rather quickly not because of demand but because these castings somehow only last for a brief while.  Joining the lineup of Corvair's this year includes the wild Greenbrier Sports Wagon, which is a van based on the Corvair in the 1960's.
