The firm is Grell, of Germany, a firm that evidently has issued die cast autos as promotionals for breweries, even though I am certain that penalties for drinking and driving are even harsher in E.U. than in north America.

The "sort of" catch is that the actual manufacturer is China's High Speed, a one-time maker of very cheap small-scale "yesteryear" vehicles that has greatly improved its detail to include 1:87, 1:72 and 1:64 autos of all styles.

The interesting thing about Grell models is that they represent East German vehicles of the 60s,

The above vehicle is an East German P70 Zwickau; below is a Trabant Kombi with trailer.

Grell has issued replicas of old West German vehicles as well, here is a lovely Auto Union 1000.

Is the AU 1000 1/64 scale?.

:wave: i like the metallic on those cars! :thumbsup:

Love the little blue car. I've never seen any of those before.

These toy models are all close to 1:64 scale.

WOW, those are some nice cars!!!
