Here are a number of photos of the two 1/18 1962 Olds Starfire's I have. These were from Yat Ming's Signature Series and have been done by them in at least a couple of different colors. Oldsmobile really produced a winner with this lovely automobile and the model represents it very well.

My favorite Olds of the 60s without a doubt.

The MAROON '62 STARFIRE is identical to one that I owned in 1972. I bought it with 19,000 miles on it from a ladies estate. It was my favorite car then, and it remains my all-time favorite car still today. When Yatming came out with their 1:18 scale diecast of it, I had to buy it. Though I'm not a 1:18 scale fan, this one was a must have! Â

Having owned two 1962 1/1 Starfires these models are must haves. Both of our 1/1s were light blue metallic with white roofs.

No doubt it is one you regret selling.

These are truly superb! The original 1:1 car was fine, the Yat Ming models are fine, and the Mike DeTorrice photography is fine too! Â

LOL, awww, thanks, Marlowe. 😊 But really it's Oldsmobile and then Yat Ming who made it possible to point a Kodak Brownie in the car or models general direction and get a nice view of such a beautiful design. GM styling at it's best !

That was a time period where designs were not all cookie cutter look a likes. RIP Oldsmobile.Â
