Here are some snaps of Greenlight's really nice white 1963 and mild red custom 1964 Chrysler 300 automobiles. Both are exceptionally cool diecast replicas of this faint echo of Chrysler Corp's mostly still-born S-Series automobiles.

No, I don't believe they are, although new colors may have been released. These are perhaps 3 years old or so. A family friend had a real 1:1 1964 Chrysler. It was a very nice car.

They look terrific for their scale! And the pics are Mike-Usual-Excellent!

Thanks, Tony ! Greenlight has certainly done a number of excellent diecast models in several scales and they produce a good-looking, quality replica.

And priced right. I have a few Greenlight models; 1/24th only however.

They are excellent models, Tony. And the hobby needs a wide variety of replicas in several scales and price/detail ranges to attract and please a viable audience of customers.

I wonder if 3D printing and printing on demand will eventually allow nearly any vehicle to be produced and bought ? The materials used for that might be different but, of course, "regular" automotive replicas in the typical/normal materials would/could still be produced.

I have a few of GLs too.... always loved these '63 & '64 Chryslers, but never owned one.  I bought these GLs the moment I saw them.   Actually, I thought it was more like 10 years ago.  🤔 🤔 🤔

@chris I was not aware that these Chryslers had ever been done in 1/64 by Greenlight.  They look pretty well done; especially if they are around ten years old.

Now you've got me thinking Jack.....    OK, let me check one of my Greenlight isles, section 6, row 2......     Auh, how about 17 years ago?  The newest date on my 1963 packaging is 2007. 🤨

GL 300 1
GL 300 3
GL 300 2

Like Chris showed, the date on the bottom of these Greenlight 1/64 Chrysler automobile models is 2007. These were purchased for me new as a gift about 4 years ago.

I have the white one and it's a great model. The recent Greenlight models I have seen look outstanding with terrific detail.
