...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.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
I have a few..... from the newest to the oldest. To open the tread, I am just posting this one.....
Goldvarg 1963 Buick Riviera. Mine was a 1964 optioned with dual Quad engine.
What a beautiful model 👍
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.
