I like the little toys, some of which closely resemble 60s Matchbox (#11 Taylor Jumbo crane, #43 Aveling-Barford shovel, #73 Daimler double-deck bus) - however, most collectors see them as being crude and lacking interiors.

I do not mind the lack of interiors. Lots of old toys including early Matchbox lacked them. And, I think that the Maisto casting of a 1970 Barracuda is excellent.

See for yourself:

Let's get a start on this Maisto thing. I offer a vision of a Porsche 356:

and a more recent and upscale toy, a '93 Mustang!

A couple oldies from Maisto's predecessor, MC Toy, a Citroen and Mercedes.
