At the prestigious Detroit Auto Show on December 21, 2007 Chevrolet officially announced the 2009 Corvette ZR1 - an American supercar that brings the technology and engineering refinement of carbon-fiber, ceramics and electronics together in a distinctive design. The ZR1 is instantly recognizable, with perhaps the most identifiable feature a raised, all-carbon-fiber hood that incorporates a clear, polycarbonate window. The window provides a view of the top of the engine's intercooler, with the legend "LS9 SUPERCHARGED" embossed on the left and right sides, and an engine cover with the Corvette crossed flags logo debossed at the front.

Came across a new Porsche book after reading the review by blogger Joe Sherlock, his review is below and another showing sample pics, book cover etc. Got mine on amazon.com, but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. It's real nice, mainly covers the air cooled 356 & 911, which are my favorites anyway, lol. https://www.4legend.com/2020/livre-cranswick-on-porsche-de-marc-cranswick-veloce-publishing/ Joe Sherlock review

I couldn't wait; http://diecastfast.com/Merchant2/merchant....&Category_Code=

Here's a couple new ones. The yellow/black coupe Impala and a Regal that is pretty close to the one I had back 20 years ago.

Enjoy!

Cool livery... had to get it.

Found at Wal-Mart...

About half for my son, and half are mine. I may take some individual snaps of GM cars to add to this thread.

These should be hitting shelves soon. Found this one today. Also in this release is a magenta Chevelle.

If you can afford them (and I wish I could), these handmade 1/43-scale models look incredible. GADM Diecasts GADMs on eBay Releases include Cadillac LaEspada, two of the GM Firebirds, Buick Centurion, and lost Chrysler Norseman.

From the Kmart collectors event last weekend...

GM is a vehicle supplier for the upcoming (7-4-07) live-action "Transformers" movie, and there are already some shots out of a couple of the car/robot toys. See the links below and click on "NEXT" to the upper-right of the pic: Solstice Some kinda GMC truck thing There's also supposed to be a new concept Camaro, but I couldn't find any pics of that one. I'm quite stoked at being able to combine my love of GM w/ my Transformers geekitude! Enjoy!

Some newly released cars... in the case of the 442, it was out, but recently released from its packaging!

A new release (Vega) and a couple classics I picked up.

]

Picked up this years Hallmark ornaments this weekend... The Classic American Cars Series was a T-bird. The All American Trucks Series was a yellow SSR. And... a no series ornament this year is the Corvette Stingray Concept (also known as Sideswipe). There is no Transformers tie-in with this, so this may be the first semi-realistic rendering of this car.

The topic in the lounge about step-side pickups made me think to put these up. Both of these are currently available on the pegs. And the coming soon Hot Wheels answer to the pickup.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Death-by-Pontiac-T-Shi...%3A1%7C294%3A50 and picked this one up as well: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pontiac-Power-T-Shirt-...%3A1%7C294%3A50 I know you guys aren't into the whole, heavy metal, flames and skulls thing like I am, but I think it's cool. :AH-HA_wink: I'm trying to build a collection of retro/rat rod style shirts for every GM and domestic division. Every little bit helps when it comes to support IMO.

To the best of my knowledge, Hot Wheels is the only model manufacturer that has all but one Monte Carlo generation depicted in some way, shape or form ... and I now have at least one of each generation! Pics are not the best, though.... 1st Gen (1970)... 2nd gen (1973-5)... 3rd gen (1980)... 4th gen (1987)... Next generation (Intimidator Concept, 1999 ... for 2000+ models)... Group... Other models, MC and otherwise, are here: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/collection/collection.html'>http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/collection/collection.html MC posters/brochures are here: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/posters/posters.html'&gt…

... wireless mouse? http://fourdoormedia.com/Merchant5/merchan...tegory_Code=001 Apparently they're officially licensed. Oh, and they have branded USB keys too.

Available now at Toys R Us. Don't know about other stores. The set includes a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS, 1965 Pontiac GTO, 1969 Chevy Camaro R/S SS convertible, 1972 Pontiac Trans Am, 1984 Hurst Olds, 1973 Pontiac Grand Am, 1971 Olds Cutlass 442, 1969 Chevy Impala convertible, 1967 Chevy Nova SS, 1959 Chevy Impala.

For those that have ever fell in love with the 1953 GM Futurliner, or have been lucky to see the fully restored-to-original condition one (like Oldsmoboi, Ocnblu and myself at the '06 AACA Fall Meet in Hershey), you will appreciate this new book. And knowing that the purchase of the book helps to maintain the restored 'liner makes it even better. http://www.futurliner.com/items.htm

Just found this one this past weekend; couldn't pass on it! The color is corral (pinkish) over white, although the pics make it look more redish over white. The funny thing is that it's not even listed on the back of teh card with the rest of the cars in the series.

Got these in the mail today...

Maisto has released this Solstice in a 5 pack. They also released the SS Concept and the Cheyenne from a few years ago. No pics of those two yet.

Ah, they have arrived!! 2 of these little beauties are now mine.

This issue has an interesting 'factory freaks' article, cars with rare paint combinations, special order options, unusual powertrain combinations. Dark blue w/ red interior '74 Trans Am, '70 Le Mans 4dr w/ 350 and 4 spd manual on the floor, '71 Le Mans Sport 4dr ht w/ GTO appearance package (GTO hood, Endura nose), 455.. A '73 Super Duty Trans Am w/ column shift automatic, delivered in primer w/ red Endura parts (front fascia, wings, flares). A '59 Catalina 4dr sedan w/ 389 tri power. A '67 Tempest wagon w/ the OHC 6 and a 2spd transmission. Also a '69 Grand Prix in Verdoro Green A couple silver WS6 4th gen T/As and 2 '96 Comp T/A Trans Ams.

From your local Wal-Mart....

While I'm not a fan of the Zingers style cars, I couldn't pass up a Van Halen themed item. And the Auto World square bodies have been tough to find, but got one today.

These are now out along with the IROC Z28 in black w. dk red interior, the '70 GTO in dk red, the '62 Chevy in gold... ]

I know that they made a few things Cavalier... I was told that they made a diecast 03 Cav... And a model for the 2000 Cav..and a sunfire too... A few of us are looking in to getting them... I've been looking around, but nothing so far...

Also out in red now too.

http://www.calendars.com/2011-Transportation/Sports-Cars-of-GM-2011-Wall-Calendar/prod1289820/?categoryId=cat480038&navCount=1 $14.99 + S&H at the link above.

Came across this and had to pick it up. Its dated 1992 on the package, prior to my re-starting my die cast collecting. The Corvette reminds me of the Bright Aqua Metallic paint on my Cutlass back then.

I stopped by my local Wal-Mart for some car cleaning supplies and made a detour down the toy aisle before leaving. Here's what I saw today: Blister package Johnny Lightnings ($2.00 each): 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe (missing the hood, has a blower on top of the engine) 1931 Cadillac Cabiolet (new issue #4 in blue, older issue #3 green) 1965 Chevy Impala SS 1981 Chevy Malibu Coupe (two-tone brown over beige) 1950 Chevy Suburban (restoration needed) Hot Wheels Delivery Vehicle Series ($3.97 each): 1959 Chevrolet Panel Delivery/Hurst 1959 Cadillac Funny Car/Rower King of Cars 1956 Chevrolet Nomad Delivery/Milodon

Is anybody selling or knows someone who is selling, vintage buick,pontiac,chevrolet,oldsmobile, and dodge car ads?

Some of the JL cars for 2007 release...

First new one found... CTS Wagon in a gold color.

Enjoy...

As requested....

Check out the following link to eBay for this beauty: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1959-60-GMC-Bu...1QQcmdZViewItem The seller claims it can be from Buicks 1959-1968. Just though someone here might be interested :AH-HA_wink:

Couldnt pass on the semi either...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Sure looks like a Fiero to me, says it's a Go-Bot. Prob. about 1/64th scale or slightly larger. Decent shape, really cool in my book, but I'm a toy-geek. :AH-HA_wink:

This is a couple years old. It is an Anson models '98 STS. The hood, trunk and front doors open. The wheels turn also. My interior pic didnt come out, so if I can get a better one I will edit this post to add it.

After getting an e-mail from the Franklin Mint about a limited-edition, web-exclusive Mercedes gullwing diecast model, I decided to check out their website to see if any new GM models were available. While disappointed that the offerings have been trimmed, they do have the following for sale: 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Hardtop Coupe (in two colors): 1957 Chevy Bel Air "Fuelie": 1956 Chevy Cameo Pickup: I'm particularly interested in the '56 Cameo, as this is the first time a 1956 model is being offered (Franklin Mint has done the '55 Cameo and Danbury Mint offers the '57 Cameo). Now hopefully DM offers a '58, as they have both the stepside and fleetside…

I have not found any scale models of the HHR on the market..... anywhere! Has anybody out there seen any, or are aware of any being made? This is another area where GM marketing has dropped the ball!

http://www.toytruckcity.com/19gmcfucobus.h...gmcfucobus.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All yours just for $79.99 (kinda pricey IMO for a 1/64th scale).

The Nov issue of HCC came today..has a pair of beautiful '73 Cutlass Supremes on the cover, one blue, one white. Other GM content in the issue incl. a '52 Buick Super 4dr.

These are showing up at Kroger. They are in baggies, not on a standard card.

Norev announced the GM Futureliner this week to be introduced in Jan/Feb of 2007. It is a true 1/64 scale model, expected price around Euro 30,- (ex tax). (No pics yet)

Nice pair...

First several repaints, and notice they removed the blown engine from the bed of the El Camino, and replaced with a tonneau. The blue Camaro is from the mystery car packs, so good luck with that one.

Also at Toys R Us.

Picked up these today....

I caught a commercial for this Corvette dollar coin (link) a couple nights ago. It actually looks pretty cool.

I just ordered my own copy, seems as if you have to go through www.Solsticestuff.com, Amazon.com (Amazon Marketplace) or through the publisher's own website (http://www.lammmorada.com) to order it. The cost - $34.95 + s&h. So far every Solstice owner that has bought or received this book has had nothing but good things to say about it. Only one chapter though on the SKY Thought I'd pass along this info, for anyone out there interested in reading about General Motors.

http://www.chevymall.com/jump.jsp?itemType...GORY&itemID=154

Found these this week as well.

For $4.95 + 2.95 s&h. The photos don't do these justice. Very glossy, very high-quality. I have no idea where these came from, but man...what a deal.

Does anyone here do dioramas as a hobby?...I'm just amazed at what is available. Looks like fun. Example of one talented diorama guy.. http://gallery.diecast.org/santos/cars3_1santos

Here's one that seemed to elude me for a bit....

Like lots!

Got this email yesterday from www.diecastmuscle.com http://www.diecastmuscle.com/html/draft0817.html <--- Link to their message the short and sweet of it down below in my own words. Available now from Diecast muscle are 1:12th scale 2006 Corvettes and for the first time ever Franklin Mint has entered the 1:18th scale market with 2 new diecasts. Both are 1970 1/2 Chevrolet Camaro's one coming in Daytona Yellow with Black stripes and the other in Hugger Orange with black stripes.

It was a good day on a milk/bread run...

Another brand does the IROC. I like it.

One of the few 1:24 diecast I have picked up....

Greenlight Anniversary Set Sorry its sideways
