Here is another M2 Auto-Thentics car, a 1957 Ford Fairlane in two-tone green. I have always liked the 1957 Ford Fairlane, and this is one of my favorite Ford color schemes.

What was the relationship between M2 and Castline? I have the impression that M2 was a product line by Castlne, but not sure if that is correct.

Ed, I don't know but I always thought they were tied together as well. Anyone know?

I think my Auto-thentics cars tend to just say "Castline" underneath their chassis. I generally don't have the clear-plastic bubble package for them anymore, but maybe it was just on that hang-card package where it says "M2 Machines" and "Auto-thentics".
I see Ed's picture's show on the card "Copyright Castline and M2 Machines", so perhaps "Auto-thentics" is a line or sub-series done by M2 Machines for their parent company Castline, in possibly OEM factories contracted for them in mainland Asian/Chinese factories. (who perhaps may also be contracted to do Greenlight '50's-'60's-'70's American cars !
Lol, if the end result is a fine selection of really nice models at affordable prices, hey, they can get as complex as they want with business and production arrangements !
