In the late 1990's and/or early 2000's I collected a number of models by Racing Champions.  They were of similar length with most in the 1/60 to 1/70 scale range.  I guess this way they could use the same size box for all of them.  Here are some pictures of a 1958 Edsel, which is about 1/67 scale.

I think these were in the $5 to $7 price range, and were available in a variety of stores and some model shows.

Enjoy the photos.

Despite the "1/64 scale range" most of these, IMO, were too nice to pass up. I collected multiples of 98% of them. This Edsel was CERTAINLY among them.

I did the same.  During the 1990's I started collecting 1/64 scale model trains.  For a while, these were the nicest cars I could find to go with my trains.
