Models since the The mints aren’t making them anymore? I’ve been buying quite a few models from the company white box. They are very nicely done, very accurate. Nothing opens on them, curbside models, but they still look great. My two newest acquisitions are a metallic brown 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco, two-door, and a black 1980 Jeep grand Wagoneer. They did get the grill wrong on the Wagoneer though. The grill on it is from a Cherokee, oh well, not bad for $39. Sorry I don’t have photo bucket anymore. Can’t post pictures here but I would if I could.
Since the Mints left us, I've been buying 1:24s from M2 and Jada. Both are prettyy well done for the price. Although Jada goes out into 'left field' sometimes with their style and detail. Motormax is another decent model for the price.
I've often wondered if either of the Mints have part ownership of any of these 'lesser'-priced brands. i.e. in 1:1s .. Chrysler has part ownership of a couple Japanese mtg's. Ford is part owner of Hynda. ... just a thought. I've never heard anybody say.
I sure hope it is T. If it is I'll be getting one. Doug, I've also gotten quite a few of the Whitebox and other Salvat branded models. They are really nice for curbside. That doesn't bother me as long as they look right. I also add M2's and others if they look right.

I haven't Doug but just ordered the 57 Pontiac Sacrifices from Bradford Exchange its resin 1:24th. I'm the test team to see if its any good lol!
One of my favorites is the 1965 Ford Galaxy, 500 four-door sedan by Savant. It is available in Red, I’m looking forward to them releasing other colors. It’s actually one of my favorite models in my collection. Love the subject matter. The body proportions and accuracy are spot on.
White box does a lot of unusual European cars, like citrines and fiats, but they do a few American cars. Also, they do a nice 59 Cadillac, a nice 65 Mustang convertible, a 56 Chevy Belair four-door sedan, a 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco two-door, a 1980 Jeep grand Wagoneer, a 63 Corvette, and a couple of others. They are worth checking out. The proportions and details are spot on.
Is anybody collecting any less expensive diecast
