Agreed. Plus I've noticed they sell out more quickly.

My guess is Jim Cowen is tapping in to those 1:24 collectors left hanging when the Mints bailed out.

Probably because there's less competition in 1/24?

Seems Automodello got undone by their aggressive price increases. Much harder to hit targets when other makers are offering comparable units at much lower price-points...

Is there any other company currently producing 1:24th scale model cars?

Sure there are - Jada, Maisto, Motormax, Burago - oh wait, you said MODELS, not toys.

That’s right Harv - proper models made in resin!

NEO made the resin 1949 Cadillac and 1933 Cadillac in 1/24 at a third of the price.
