Indianapolis, IN (July 14, 2010) As motor vehicles become increasingly vital to everyday life, the automotive industry has grown to be one of the most important economic sectors and viable enterprises in existence.

Indianapolis, IN (June 21, 2010) Fully restored and wearing its famous Reims livery, the 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601, frequently referred to as “American Racing's Crown Jewel”, sold for a record-breaking $7.25 million at Mecum's inaugural Monterey, California Auction on August 15, 2009. A car with this amount of notoriety is very much deserving of recognition and GreenLight has decided to do just that with its production of a 1:18 scale replica to tribute this incredible chart-busting auction accomplishment and legendary piece of racing history.
This Shelby Daytona Cobra was one of six cars built by Carroll Shelby to compete against the dominant Ferraris in the F.I.A. (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) World Manufacturers Championship for GT race class in 1965. The coupe body was an experimental design and was built on an existing Cobra chassis; these modifications increased the top speed by 25 MPH, allowing for the Cobra to keep pace with the highly regarded Ferraris. After the car won its first race, five more coupes were built including the CSX2601.
After competing at many racing events, CSX2601 made its history when it seized the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship for the United States. Steering the U.S. into that victory was legendary driver Bob Bondurant. “I always wanted to race in Europe against the world’s best drivers. Winning that World Championship was the crowning achievement of my career,” shared Bondurant.
Join GreenLight and celebrate one of the proudest moments in U.S. race history with this official licensed 1:18 scale special edition. The 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601 represents a competitive spirit and victory against all odds. GreenLight’s model will have a limited production run of 1,900 pieces and a MSRP $39.99.
This 1:18 die-cast replica features a detailed engine, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, custom license plate and is officially licensed. The release is scheduled for arrival in July 2010 and will be available through official GreenLight official hobby shops and wholesale dealers.

Indianapolis, IN (June 21, 2010) GreenLight pairs the Microbus and the Beetle in this 1:18 Series as homage to the internationally unmistakable German engineered Volkswagen. This summer’s wave of the 1:18 Black Bandit Series is the second release after a Toys “R” Us exclusive premiered earlier this year. The Black Bandit theme is meticulously produced with a triple-black theme. Black body paint, black interior detail, and custom black wheels are the distinguishing characteristics of these "outlaw" vehicles. The sleek styling of these renegade die-cast replicas give collectors all over the world a series to look forward to.

This two car series Includes:

1967 Volkswagen Beetle
1962 Volkswagen Microbus

In 1967 the Volkswagen Beetle had made some major strides within the model. While the car itself didn't get any bigger, many of its mechanical systems and components did. For starters, a bigger engine, more horsepower, larger capacity of the electrical generator and an upgraded volt system. The addition of other improvements and new standard equipment put the final “punch” in this buggy.

The 1962 Volkswagen Microbus, after the Beetle, might be VW's most famous vehicle. It owes its ability to be instantly recognizable, to its association with the 1960s and the counterculture movement. Like the Beetle, the Microbus was a rear-engine vehicle, and as in the Beetle, the engine helped improve traction for the vehicle's rear wheels. The Microbus is referred to by a number of names; “Minibus”, “Hippie van”, “Splitscreen” or “Splittie” and among American enthusiasts it is common to reference by the number of windows. However you wish to call this model it is most assuredly sensational.

These 1:18 die-cast replicas feature detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, custom license plates and are officially licensed. Their release is scheduled for Summer 2010 with a limited production of 3,000 pieces each and will be available through official GreenLight official hobby shops and wholesale dealers.

Indianapolis, IN (June 7, 2010) Almost everyone has a childhood memory of a toy police die cast car, they represent safety, allow one to play the role of authority and are the perfect beginning to the lifelong love of die cast collecting. Though they don’t have the power to write you a ticket GreenLight Collectibles has continued to represent complete authenticity with the newest release of the 1:64 Hot Pursuit Series 3. For those not familiar to the series Hot Pursuit includes police, fire chief and patrol cars from past and present municipalities across America.

When choosing which cars to use in this hot series GreenLight has truly listened to what the collectors want. Numerous requests for larger departments as well as the positive feedback received from past patrol cars prompted GreenLight to include three state patrol cars (Alabama, Nevada and Wisconsin). The set also includes two county sheriff cars for variety, Rockdale County Georgia and Boone County Missouri. But by far the most unique car in the series is the 1981 Chevy Corvette, property of the Waterford, Connecticut police department. This car was seized from a drug dealer and has since been used as part of the Waterford police’s anti-narcotics education programs. “This isn’t your every day police cruiser, but we hope collectors respond well and appreciate it as such an interesting model” says Matthew Elliot, Director of Production. “This uncommon police vehicle choice paired with the unique paint scheme is the type of rare but authentic model GreenLight tries to showcase from time to time to add great variety to the set.”

This six car series includes:

-1:64 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Waterford Police Department (Waterford, CT)
-1:64 2008 Crown Victoria Boone County Sheriff (Columbia, Missouri)
-1:64 2008 Crown Victoria Nevada Highway Patrol
-1:64 2008 Dodge Charger Alabama State Police
-1:64 2008 Dodge Charger Rockdale County Sheriff (Georgia)

These die-cast replicas feature opening hoods, detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, custom license plates and are officially licensed by the respective automobile companies. Quantities are limited to 6,500 units open to the public and will be available in July – August 2010. These are expected to be hot sellers based on the performance of the previous series so be sure to grab yours quickly…but remember, no speeding!

MARENGO, Ill. – Mecum Collector Car Auctions has teamed up with GreenLight Collectibles, a die-cast car manufacturer based in Indianapolis, Ind., to produce 1:64 scale replicas of select high-profile automobiles sold across the Mecum Auction block. The limited-edition replica vehicles will be available for sale during Dana Mecum’s 23rd Original Spring Classic Auction, May 19-23, 2010, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
“These high-quality die-cast collectibles are a wonderful way for enthusiasts at any budget to take home a car of their dreams,” said President Dana Mecum. “The GreenLight replicas are exact reproductions of some of the most sought-after cars featured at our events. They are both a nice keepsake item as well as a perfect gift idea for car enthusiasts.”
GreenLight currently showcases three cars sold at Mecum Auctions in its Auction Block Series 11, including a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO sold for $310,000 at Mecum’s 2009 Original Spring Classic Auction; a 1966 Shelby GT-350 Hertz Fastback that Mecum sold for $112,500 at their 2009 Kissimmee, Fla., Auction; and a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi sold for $215,000 at the 2008 Original Spring Classic Auction. The highly collectible series, which has a limited production run of 4,000 units, features opening hoods, detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics and custom license plates.
In May 2010, GreenLight and Mecum will introduce the Auction Block Series 12 line, which will include three more die-cast cars modeled after prominent Mecum auction sales: a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, sold for $350,000 at the 2009 St. Charles, Ill., Auction; a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette 427 that sold for $80,000 at the 2009 Kansas City, Kan. Auction; and a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (Top Up) that Mecum sold for $196,000 at the 2009 Bloomington Gold Corvette Auction.
The companies are also collaborating on a 1:18 scale replica of the famous 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601, which sold at Mecum’s Monterey Auction in 2009 for a record-breaking $7.25 million – the highest price ever paid for an American car at public auction. The replica will be available July 2010 with only 1,900 produced.
“We are excited to grow our relationship with Mecum Auctions,” said Jeff Nelson, national sales manager, GreenLight Collectibles. “Their broad recognition and esteemed reputation in the auction marketplace allows us to create replicas of some extremely remarkable cars, and we look forward to working with them on more die-cast cars in the future.”

This provides another great companion piece to the other Model "A"s in my collection:




Highway 61 1929 Ford Roadster (Blue)




Motor City Classics 1931 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster (Stone Brown)






Signature 1931 Model A Pickup Truck (White)


Even though the tow truck is an earlier release (2002), it still packs in the charm with its cool features of:
"an operable towing rig,
rear fender-mounted vice,
hand tools strewn across the REAL wood rear bed,
faded paint,
mismatched panels,
rusted bumper,
busted headlight (complete with dangling filament),
filthy windshield,
and bent hood ornament."

Thanks for looking....

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (March 31, 2010) So if you missed out at the auction, well don’t worry because these cars have made a reappearance with a limited production run of 3,500 units. Being released in May 2010 these authentic replicas of cars sold at auction feature opening hoods, detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, custom license plates and are officially licensed by the respective automobile companies.
“These cars archive a past of limited editions and renewed character.” Says Mathew Elliot, Director of Production at GreenLight “What stood out about these cars is their deep and varied history in automobile archives.” From the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette that has been through a frame off restoration to the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette 427 kept in mint condition from original purchase, these models come from every stage of life. The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was one of seventeen and then only one of six with a 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. The 1968 Plymouth HEMI GTX is referred to as the “Gentleman’s Muscle Car” but with the addition of the optional HEMI engine was only one of 450 made. The 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda a big block convertible was only 1 of 128 and the 1966 Shelby GT-350 was completely restored with the original numbers matching motor. Each car has its own story of survival and accomplishments, bound to make any car enthusiast passionate and now collectors can own an authentic replica.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (March 31, 2010) So if you missed out at the auction, well don’t worry because these cars have made a reappearance with a limited production run of 3,500 units. Being released in May 2010 these authentic replicas of cars sold at auction feature opening hoods, detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, custom license plates and are officially licensed by the respective automobile companies.
“These cars archive a past of limited editions and renewed character.” Says Mathew Elliot, Director of Production at GreenLight “What stood out about these cars is their deep and varied history in automobile archives.” From the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette that has been through a frame off restoration to the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette 427 kept in mint condition from original purchase, these models come from every stage of life. The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was one of seventeen and then only one of six with a 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. The 1968 Plymouth HEMI GTX is referred to as the “Gentleman’s Muscle Car” but with the addition of the optional HEMI engine was only one of 450 made. The 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda a big block convertible was only 1 of 128 and the 1966 Shelby GT-350 was completely restored with the original numbers matching motor. Each car has its own story of survival and accomplishments, bound to make any car enthusiast passionate and now collectors can own an authentic replica.
