Here are two of Highway 61's '64 Dodge 330 2-door sedans. Both feature the powerful 426 Max Wedge V-8 and while one has the impressive hood scoop, the other looks much more like a "grocery-getter". At a stoplight getaway contest, mistaking that one as a benign family car could be embarrassing.

I certainly agree, Bob ! They set a new standard in their chosen price/detail range and they selected some really fantastic subject matter. Some of their existing tooling has been licensed out to other manufacturers and I hope more of this will continue in the future.

Mike; can you advise which companies/manufacturers have carried on with the Highway 61 models?

Jack, I believe Acme has offered several 1/18 diecasts using H61 tooling. Here's a partial listing from their site :

And I had a high school friend who's brother had this exact one sans the w/w and the hood scoop..
Nice !
