Oldsmobile Toronado from DeAgostini

Welcome!

I have 2 De Agostinis, the '67 Buick Wildcat and '70 Chrysler 300-H. They're very nice for the price, not up to Goldvarg quality standards but they will display very nicely next to one. Don't hesitate to add it to your collection, especially if there aren't many other versions out there.

Welcome to the forum! You'll be happy with the model at that price. 

Welcome Aboard!

Deagostini are a part works company in Italy.  Their model cars are made in China, come with a magazine, and sell at newsstands in Europe and S America.  Many are made by Ixo and come in several different part works series.

Dealers sell them on ebay at inflated prices (from the newsstand) + expensive postage to US.  Hence $50 but the details are very nice for these.  

The same car is also listed under Altaya (another part works brand) on ebay for cheaper prices.  Check out those as well.

Check out the "HALLMARK "1966 OLDS TORONADO COUPE"" - many people collect those.  Not bad for 1/4 the price!

Thanks for your input, it appears you get what you pay for. I’ve collected many of Sergio’s models and have appreciated the quality of his cars. I asked if he was interested in building this car, he mentioned that it was made already by other companies. I’m wondering if it would be a car you might buy if Goldvarg made one?

I know he cannot make every car, but I feel this is one of Oldsmobile’s best cars and should sell well.

I haven't gone for the DeAgostini, having four 1st Gen Toros already. 

Me too, except for that "haute" one!  🤣 

Gotta show some ol' Teknos, whenever I get the chance! 

@cfcooper Yes, I would buy a Goldvarg '66 Olds in a nanosecond. The only one of those I have is the Corgi. There was a thread a few weeks ago regarding the Corgi Marlin, for example - in its day, I think it was a terrific model. Can you imagine a Goldvarg Marlin? Or a Goldvarg Corvette anywhere from '53-'67? Yes, lots of them out there...but he would kill it. I shudder to think....

@tedweller Not sure Sergio would do better than Spark or Ixo.

Still, a '53-'55, or even '56-'57 would be welcome. The Franklin Mint versions are, well, Franklin Mints.

And he's had ridiculously tough luck getting anywhere with Chrysler's current owners as far as licensing goes. Wouldn't hold out on that Marlin.

The Toronado from De Agostini is very nice, especially for the price. A great color and it displays well with higher priced models.

@moe-parr I have about 90% of the American Car series and agree that most of them are very well done for the price.  I consider them to be good quality "fillers" but would buy any Goldvarg, IXO or similar quality model done of the same car without a doubt.

@tedweller Dear Ted, The Marlin is in my plans since I started.

But Marlin is Rambler, so is under the Chrysler License Umbrella, and is taking forever to get the license. That's because I am based in the USA, as no resin manufacturer in Europe asks for any license and they do the Chrysler they want...not fair!

@goldvarg  Sergio;  Well, I wish you all the best getting that Chryco licence; there are so many of their fantastic cars to be done as you well know.  Are all Ramblers under Chryco licence?

@jack-dodds Dear Jack,

Yes, all Ramblers are under Chrysler License.

I have around 27 Chrysler projects , but stuck because of the Licensing...

My favorite year and color
