Peter Tait...in response to post 15434.2...
...which Carros collection? You mention having the 1967 Galaxie (i.e. the American '66) and 1975 Dodge Dart and both being not very good, but neither of which have been produced yet for Carros Inesqueciveis do Brasil. The Galaxie is due out in two months and the Dart is a ways off. There are literally two almost identically named partworks: one consisting of pullbacks and the other being made by Ixo. Very similar names, very similar lineups, very different cars (the Galaxie, for example, is a two-door hardtop in the pullback partwork, but the Ixo Galaxie will be a four-door sedan).

Well now.....
I really do not know who made them at this point, bot of them are in storage at this time but, I can say that they are not pull-backs. And the Galaxie is a 4dr in black. I bought these on eBay well over a year ago from a seller in Brazil. The Dart is a 4dr as well, in a copper-ish brown. The reason I say that they are not very good, is because they look "cheap" without much detail. The chromed plastic parts are too heavily chromed, which I think mutes the detail considerably. I'm in the process of transferring all of my models into smaller storage boxes, so, if I run across them, I'll take pics and post them here.

Can't tell you who made them, then!
The Dart hasn't been done yet and only a preview picture is available of the Galaxie. Not sure what you have, although they were also sold without pullback motors. HOWEVER, most (though not all) had opening doors.
