I found these while going through some of my old childhood cars.

I think I bougth these on a summer trip to relatives in South Dakota in the early 80's, probably 1981. I used to find some pretty cool cars back there. I remember finding two redlines in the package on that trip in a little general store. The guy had them for years in his shop. What a find that was!

Anyway, I remember playing with these. The Chevys and Mercury have plastic bases and opening doors. The T-Bird has a hood that opens and a metal base. That's about all I know about them.

From the "Replica" series of 1:64 die casts in the 70s-80s.

Earlier versions were made in Hong Kong and had metal base plates, opening parts.

Later versions had chromed plastic bases.

There were US and European vehicles represented.

Thanks for the info! Good stuff!
I always liked that Mercury though the color isn't my first choice.
