I really like these models, they may not be totally correct, but I think these are so full of charm with a bunch of colors available.

Wonderful Fords! The models of this Argentina's company are very sophisticated and well-done. I have several of them in my collection.
Every model has four variants including Indianapolis Pace Cars. The Pace Cars are the rarest.

Excellent views of this 1953 Ford ! The colors on these beauties are exceptionally good ones, and the top-up convertible is a terrific version of this one, too.

Love. collector Classics. I have these and take them out occasionally to admire. Nice to see them here. Thanks John.

And these were inexpensive enough to do some variations on them. Business coupe, four door sedan, Country Sedan wagon. I always liked the label on the base plate of the person who made Collector Classics.

They look really nice, John.

John, I do not remember seeing a Collector’s Classic model in person. How would you compare these Ford models to a Brooklin model?

I always thought they were excellent for the money. I think I have about 10 or so (Fords, Mercury, DeSoto, Packard.. ) but probably paid no more than $12 each over 20 years ago.

They have nowhere near the quality of a Brooklin model, minimal detailing that are not always real crisp, and in some cases a bit rough around the edges. The Ford Crestline and Mercury Monterey models are slightly off in their scaling. They both seem to be a bit too short and a too wide. With that, I love them. I have over 40 in my collection, with several I've made minor alterations (or planning to), by switching tops and such (I don't have the talents of John Quilter by no means to do more) They bring a smile to my face every time I look at one of them.

John, I consider these models to be very interesting and well- done. As to me I prefer oldschool models.
Collector's Classic range of Buby has a soul. Unfortunatly, the production stopped in 1993 and 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was the last model.
I don't know a reason, but suspect that it was hard for Mr Mahler to compete with companies whose production concentrated in China.
The price for the model in 1990s was about 50- 60% of Brooklin.
