These models are wonderful, indeed. In 1990s I assume that they offered very high level by a reasonable price. There aren't a lot of diecast 1950-60s American cars models even in nowadays.  So, CC range is still actual for collectors who don't trust modern resin.

In 1992 Buby introduced several models in CC range: 1946- 48 Lincoln Continental, 1956 De Soto Adventurer, 1963 Studebaker Avanti.

I'd like to show 1946- 48 Lincoln Continental top down from my collection. The range included 3 versions- top down, top up, Indy 500pace car.

My model has red colour intetior which makes it very realistic. We can also see good detailed dashboard  and steering wheel with gearbox shift.

I'll be very glad to watch in this topic 1956 De Soto Adventurer, 1963 Studebaker Avanti and 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

Unfortunately, in 1993 Buby had to stop CC range. Sure that if Buby continued to produce them and to introduce new models, they would be successful among collectors.

The history of Buby is very intetesting and exciting. I can announce that soon a series of articles in MAR online will be published and you will get the answers to many questions.

@fred-eliseeff Why would I not "trust" modern resin?

@bob-jackman  Every type of model has advantages and disadvantages. Some collectors are fans of diecast, some of white metal and some of resin. It's wonderful to have a great choice.

I think that it will be interesting to discuss about different kinds of model cars material in a separate topic.

If somebody has 1964 Studebaker Avanti and 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in collection, it will be wonderful to watch them in this topic.

By the way, the complete history of Buby and Collector's Classics range will be published in MAR online soon. Hope, many of us will appreciate this historical research.

I found a Continental in a second-hand store for a few pounds, (missing its mascot) and it remains one of my favourite models. Here it is with MiniMarque '42 Hudson, Goldvarg '46 Chevrolet and Brooklin '46 Cadillac.  Who could imagine any one was cheeper or more expensive than another?

Just received 1954 Mercury Sun Valley. I like this model and 1955 Ford Crown Victoria envisaged with incredible glass roof.

The model which I purchased has no certificate. But the price was about 40 dollars. Now I have 9 models of CC range in collection.
