That's a beauty! I have a few but not photos of them all. I do have photos of our E Class from when we owned it. Minichamps Mercedes-Benz E350 Luxury Sedan.

...sadly, like other scales - the models of 1:1 cars I've owned simply don't exist with the exception of Stamp's/GLM's '54 Lincoln Capri & '59 Cadillac CDV, and Luxury collectable's 2011 SRX.    Brooklin and IXO come close with their '56 Patrician and '82 T/A respectively... but that's about it.  🙄 😞

I can think of a few....'68 Cougar, '67 Firebird, ' 65 Mustang 2&2, '66 Mustang coupe, '72 Cougar, '78 Firebir, '76 Chevelle.  Oh and the early ones...1953 Ford, '56 and '57 Chevys, '55 Olds 88, '58 VW Beetle.  There are many more if I really think hard.  Lol.

Just one. Apparently there is a Honda Fit race series in Japan, and I love the livery. Photo attached.

Honda gifted me a yellow 1/64 Fit when I bought mine since it was an early example of the third generation.

My daily driver in high school was identical to this. 199 c.i. six and three on the tree wasn't very exciting but I loved that car. I could hardly believe it when I found this model on ebay.

A pretty basic 1969 American. I think the only option was the am radio.

My sister had a station wagon in the late ‘70s. I should have known the year! It was a legend in our family. If only they made cars today as good as that Rambler was built.

The wagon was pre ‘68 because I remember that it didn’t have side marker lights.

I have two. They are not perfect matches, but close enough.

First, I had a 1972 Datsun 240Z. Here is a model of a 1970-1972 Datsun 240Z by Oxford Diecast and is the same color as my 1:1 car. The model has RHD and I believe represents a car sold in UK.

Second, I have a 2024 Nissan Z. Here is a picture of my Nissan Z by TSM. Unlike the model, my 1:1 car is all black.

On a related note, does anyone know of a stock version of the 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7 being produced in 1/43 scale? This is also known as a third generation or FD version. I owned one of these for many years and would love a model of the car.

Including ones I or some family members 1:1 we have owned, in 1/43 (and other) scales, it would include a 1953, 1955, 1958, 1974, 1975, 1994 and 1996 Chevrolets ; a 1949 Lincoln, a 1955 Pontiac, an early Thirties Packard and a 1963 Studebaker. I think I could add a 1996 Buick Roadmaster, a 1985 Oldsmobile 98, 1974 and 1975 Chevrolets, a 1971 Ford Torino, 1971 and 1984 Pontiacs, a 1987 Cadillac and a 1975 GMC motorhome.
