...that is, here's a few Precision Miniatures gassers, altereds & drag cars. Marlowe always corrects me because I call every vintage drag car a gasser, so.... hopefully I covered myself here by mentioning everything. 😏 😏
PM made some great stuff.... I still MISS them!

@rich-sufficool - Here is the 1:1 in the "metal" and of course, one of my favorite Photoshops of your work.

Nice additions guys, thanks. ACME's versions really captured the look of authentic "mag" wheels! 😎 😎

@grockwood Yes, A nice release by ACME but PM did not do it first, as far as I know. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. ......Anyone?

@chris Precision Miniatures had fused with Motor City USA in 1986 and produced these 1/24s 41 Willys probably in the late 90s ot early 'aughts', if I remember right. They are curbsides.
They also did a slew of others, some of which made it to 1/18 under the reborn Precision Miniatures. I have a photo file of them.

I vividly remember these pieces in 1:24 scale. Even though they were curbside, I thought they were very interesting! Despite not having opening features, I came soooooo close to pulling the trigger but never did.
