I have some 1/18 replicas that are still at my storage unit, but ones I have come across an old snap I took years ago. This is a Jada model of the then new Camaro. It was a very inexpensive diecast, but nicely done.

Nicely done, INDEED! Love the wheels, LOVE the color!

I have 2 JADA 2006 Concept Camaros and a few of Maisto's Camaro.

@grockwood JADA did a good job tooling the Camaro concept - that I believe appeared in 2006 (??? )
The proportions look right, everything opens, and the fit & finish isn't bad. The only real drawback is that the front wheels are not posable - there's no steering. But of course, that could be fixed. 😏 😏
The best 1/18 2010-'11 Camaros I've ever seen are by Dealer Edition. I still regret not buying a few when they were $59.99 - today, they go for hundreds. 😬 😬 😬

Chris, I've never heard of Dealer Edition. How many different models did they produce ?

I have about 20 or so, mostly American makes from 1994-2024, but I'd guess Dealer Edition produces 150- 200 different models. Most of their 1/18 diecast offerings are highly detailed, full function replicas with above average fit & finish. I like them very much.
Here's a small sample of mine:

I found them at LiveCarModel and was surprised at the number of models available. They have a large selection of 1/12 & 1/16 shown. I haven't seen many 1/16 models since Tonka / Polistoy ? I had two models back in the late 80's probably from KayBee. Is Dealer Edition the actual manufacturer or are they just re-branding ? Congrats and thanks for all the pics !

I'm not entirely sure, but it's safe to assume they have "considerable pockets," as they hold MANY licensing rights. They seem to replicate practically every vehicle manufacture in several scales. 👍

I noticed that real quickly. I was surprised at the number of Hyundai models that were available. Not sure if that would ever be a model I would want.
