Diecast Trucks

Die-cast fantasy on Mattel’s Cars land exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum showcasing the history of its diecast collection from Disney Pixar Cars called “From Silver Screen to Die-cast”. After parking its Hot Wheels cars at Petersen Museum for years, toymaker Mattel has teamed with Disney and Pixar to create a new display at this museum about the “Cars” franchise. Mattel the #1 toy maker has produced more than 250 million die-cast “Cars” “Cars 2″ and “Cars Toon” featuring more than 500 unique, rare and never-before-seen designs representing many of the beloved characters from the film Cars. One of the rare cars on display is the “Apple Car” also called “Mac iCar” a white car #84 with a silver Mac apple on its hood. Also the “blu-ray Dinoco Lightning Mcqueen” and the exclusive “silver Lightning Mcqueen Pixar Motorama”. The “Cars 2″ die-casts are 1/55 scale, larger than most diecast cars, which are 1/46 in scale, to more accurately capture the facial expressions, personality and character details, and smaller than 1:43 scale from Disneystore. They have many of the released Mattel die-casts from Cars, Cars Toon and Cars 2 including Rip Clutchgoneski, Leland Turbo, Mater disguised as Ivan Mater, convoy brothers, RV, clown cars, Kimura Kaizo, Derek decals dobbs, Syd VanderKamper, Trev Diesel, John Lassetire red pick-up truck, Albert Hinkey, Lizzie, Stanley, Bessie, Janne Flash Nilsson, Fernando Alonso, Mark Frosty Winterbottom, Vitaly Petrov, Memo Rojas Jr
