Does anyone know where you can get quality diecast cars from the 1930's? I'm looking for Bugatti, Delage, Delhaye, Talbot Lago, Mercedes, Packard, Cadillac. I prefer 1:18 or even 1:8.

Are there any quality plastic kits from this era? I built a 1933 Cadillac V-16 1:16 that really came out great. It appears that there isn't much out there.

Thanks in advance.

Chuck, I don't know if you're familar with Hubleys "Pot Metal" classic car kits, but they screw together, and need to be painted. The finished product is pretty nice. I think they are about 1:24 scale.

I also did a google search of Gabriel (which I believe took over Hubley).
I realize this is a smaller scale than you wanted. But when you're looking for vintage cars from the 30's there really isn't that much offered. At least not that I'm aware of.
Good Luck

Chuck,PM me your address, and I'll send you an old "Gabriel" model kit I have to see if you would be interested in purchasing some more off EBAY. That way, if it isn't what you're looking for, you won't be out any $$$.
