These Models of Yesteryear are not that popular anymore - can pick them up for a dime, so I do not get them out much.
I have many from the Matchbox Int'l era, made in China, early 1990s.  I forgot how heavy these MoY are. Diecast but feel much heavier than newer Minichamps, etc.

Those look excellent, Karl. I still have several of my old Models of Yesteryear automobiles and I remember how delighted I was as a kid to get these. I am still delighted with them !

I do have the Lincoln in a couple of colors, I like it a lot. I've not seen the Mercedes before, it looks interesting.

Fast forward 40+ years and MoYs began looking like this:

Here's my 770. Funny, I never noticed the numbering on it before now.
