I thought this box would have only two models in it. DeAgostini is ending the series.

Some excellent 1:43 replicas shown here. A very nice way to round out the De'Agostini series, which have all been fine models.

Everything past the El Camino SS is just various copies of things already released earlier in the collection. But Hark they seem to be saying the collection may reach 135 models, Here is part of that list

106 Chevrolet El Camino Iroc-S 1984  
107 Ford Falcon Futura 1964  
108 Dodge 330 Sedan 1964  
109 AMC Rambler Rogue Hardtop 1969  
110 Chevrolet El Camino 500 Indy    
111 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 1969

... ...    
135

Some of these appeared in the Altaya Mexican collection and may be reissued here.

Some of the Altaya Mexican collection has been released to various sellers in Europe, many selling at reasonable prices but unfortunately with the high European postage costs. Thankfully some offer combined shipping that bring the cost per unit down.

And here is another one believed to be from the Mexican series, a 1972 AMC Hornet two door sedan.

1972 AMC Hornet #1
1972 AMC Hornet #2

 And some other variations on this body shell, two different station wagon versions

1981 AMC Eagle VAN Lerma
1981 AMC Eagle VAN Lerma #2

And the US coupe.

1978 AMC Hornet

Not only are the cars terrific, but the soundtrack as well. Who is it?

@ed-glorius, thanks. It's generic background music from my video editing software. If I use anything else, YouTube will flag it for copyright violations.
