Ok, here are some pictures for ya! Two M2 Machine 57 Chevys pictured with a Convertible 57 by Unique Replicas (An OUTSTANDING Model if you have seen em! Working suspension, wired engine, etc etc etc - and HEAVY too) and another in the CARQUEST series by First Gear - again, EXCELLENT replicas, fine detail, fuzzy dice, junk in the trunk etc etc. But, you just plain can not beat the M2 Offerings - unbelievable quality and value for the dollar - less than $20.00 in most places...! These are among at least 12 57 Chevies that yours truly has in 1/24 - 1/25 diecast, and I hope to have all of them posted here soon.....again, the Orange and Black Flamed 57s are M2s, the turquoise is Unique Replicas and the Black/Silver is First Gear!
The Orange 57 has the 250hp dual quad engine option, while the flamed black 57 has a single four barrel intake probably the 200hp option
Here is the engine of the Unique Replicas' 57 Chevy - highly detailed, heater hoses, spark plug wires etc - single Quadrajet on this one!
The First Gear offering in the CARQUEST Series:
Junk in the trunk!
Oh, I see I didn't get a picture of the First Gear 57 Chevy engine - mild customized 283, chrome valve covers, Moroso Air filter, Holley Carb and Edlebrock intake! Too Cool, Old School!
Thanks for lookin, more 57s to come!!

Who does the turquoise blue rag top? I have seen one like it at a car rental place.

That one is actually a NAPA Edition. I have the Enterprise Edition as well. Neat thing..it only has one antenna, but it does have fender skirts! Notice the NAPA version does not have the skirts or Contentential kit! Otherwise, almost the same. I will get some pictures of them togetherfor ya!

You must have the largest diecast collection on the planet, even bigger than mine, how many 1/64th scale cars and trucks do you have?

Yikes, I am not sure about the biggest! In 1/64th scale, I probably have close to 350.....

I have over 1,000 1/64ths, about 50 1/24th scales and a few 1/18th scales.

After re-evaluating my collection, I would say my 1/64s are approaching 500, and my 1/24 - 1/25 collection is around 400+.......! Yikes. And somewhere near 75 in 1/18, maybe 100.....
