Jim - Great models. Thanks for displaying.
Those were, when new, exotics of the very finest available. I was lucky to get a few Zauggs back in the '80s and one Japanese Rubicon.
FYI - the company you identified as "AMC" is actually "AMR". AMR stands for the name of the founder - the now deceased Andre Marie Ruf. This company was one of the first to use photo etching for detail work. AMR produced mostly European cars but did make a lot of Cadillacs too. And "Verona" is not the model company - that identifies a city in Italy that produced the Dallari models.

Thanks for the updates. As I sort I am trying to identify the models before storing them. I did see the word RUF on the base.
Thanks again,

You have hit the 'pot of gold' here! Those Japanese white metal models from Newcon, Cam and Rubicon are rare birds. In all my years of collecting I have only ever seen two listed and I was lucky enought to get one!
In the mid 1980's these models were priced in the UK at £120 each!
Thanks for showing.
Cheers Chris
