Die-cast: BoS’s Vector M12
Vector M12 a rare beast, but BoS nails it …
If you’ve never heard of a Vector M12, or Vector, or maybe remember hearing of Vector but suspected it was long gone, well, you’re sort of right. Let’s just say Vector, like many supercar manufacturers through the years, has had an interesting history.
But god love ‘em, BoS (Best of Show Models) took on the project of creating a 1/18 scale Vector M12…

Die-cast: Ixo’s 1970 Saviem JM 21/240 Michelin truck
Michelin tire truck a big win for Bib … Who doesn’t recognize, and like, the Michelin Man? He’s probably even more famous than the Pillsbury Dough Boy, although I’ve never heard Bibendum (Bib for short) giggle.

Die-cast: BoS-Models’ 1960 Plymouth Valiant
BoS nails it with early Plymouth Valiant … I’ll admit to a soft spot for early Plymouth Valiants, and I think it’s justified. First, they were more stylish than other compacts of the day, and second, our family had a 1963 Valiant convertible with a push-button transmission. My mom learned to drive on that car and I spent a lot of years peeling my legs off the red vinyl seats in that car each…

BoS 1957 Buick Century Caballero Estate Wagon
Resin Buick Century shows wagons could be stylish Remember when cars were interesting? Remember fins, and chrome and giant grilles and wide white-sidewall tires? Remember when cars weren’t just initials and numbers and hyphens? Remember two-tone cars? I do, and if you’re of a certain age you’ll recall hardtop wagons that were almost as sleek and exciting as regular hardtops, like the 1957 Buick…

Die-cast: BoS-Models’ 1951 Studebaker Champion
Small bullet nose Studebaker Champion provides high value I’m an Indiana boy at heart and that means Studebaker has always been near the top of my favorite U.S. car makes list. The South Bend, Ind.-based company ceased production in the mid-1960s, but many of its cars were styling successes. Certainly in 1951 when this 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe was roaring up and down U.S. 31 the…
