My first 1:43 scale diecast. I've also got some Nascar 1964 Fords coming soon. :)

Being a "race" guy, I give these 6 thumbs up! Welcome to the 1:43 party, but be warned, this can become addictive quickly!

Boy are you right! I've always limited my collecting habits to 1:64 scale only, but I really like old school Nascar vehicles & couldn't resist picking these up from the 'bay for a very low price. Now I find myself scanning the 1:43 auctions daily. I've got a 1:43 Racing Champions G.C. Spencer 1964 Ford coming in the mail & can't wait to see it.:thumbsup:

Does Carney make 1:43 scale display cases?

Just make sure that the case is high enough to clear the cars wing. Cool cars.

Sorry my friend. That is a Daytona and not a Superbird.

Can you explain the difference, please? I have - as I've now learned - GL Daytonas and HW Superbirds. I thought they were the same.
