At Dad's Cats in Hendersonville again today, though I'd share what I picked up.
These are Ricko 1:87 scale cars, and I'm truly blown away by the detail on these little things!

Very nice models!
Highly detailed 1/87 scale cars are always expensive. The HO train modelers aren't afraid to spend money for detailed items.
I like the Lincoln Continental, but the mirror looks too BIG. Very nice detail on a diecast car so small!

Oh, the thing I forgot to mention...they're all plastic. Plastic bodie, plastic chassis. Maybe I put them in the wrong section? Still, you'd never be able to tell by looking, I didn't know they were untill I touched the Maserati.
As far as where to get them goes, there were about 10 or 15 more various models left at Dad's Cats in Hendersonville, NC after I pciked these up, all in the $10-$16 range. Other than that I have no idea where to get them.

For that kind of money they should be diecast. Still, they are very nice!

You're probably right, but I'm not exactly gonna be playing with them so it's not a big deal to me. They just have to look good.
