Interested in cars from 1908 to 1920. Are there any comercial kits of parts available for this time period?

Does anyone here model this time period?

Thanks

There are resin kits from teens and 20s. Look at Penelpe Pitlane and George Turner Models, both in the UK. There may be others.

Closest I have seen is a Rolls Royce by Matchbox

A mate had this car done up Airfix 1911 Rolls Royce

They also did a 1905 Rolls - these can still be found on eBay - the Matchbox one is a bit harder to locate.

Harry Slotter has some matchbox kits check with him he may have something you are after

If you don't mind kitbashing, The Highway Pioneers series has quite a few of the cars you are looking for. Ebay has them built or unbuilt some very cheap.

I've been looking for Auburn, Duesenberg, and Cord models for years. Good luck and let me know if you find any models of these iconic American cars. Even though slot car production is Euro-centric I am a little surprised to see that George Turner, or someone else, has not modeled the Duesenberg since it was easily to equal of any Euro car of its day - including anything Mercedes=Benz could produce. But the reality is, these cars are far in the past. Even on a car oriented site like HRW the word Duesenberg is not recognized by spellcheck.

I actually resin cast an Auburn Speedster and a Cord 812. Here are a couple pics of some I've built.

I'm a huge fan of prewar cars.

Those are very nice cars, Cagee. Do you sell copies?

I do. I'll send you a pm when I get home this afternoon.
