1930s Jalopy Bodies -? Possible source

Postby Wolseley Hornet » Mon Dec 08, 2014 9:24 am

You know how several of us have dreamt of 1/32 jalopies; has anyone got any experience of Motor Mint products?

https://www.motormint.com/ItemList.wmm

They seem to offer a good range of 1/32 cars from the 30s, which could perhaps be taken to pieces to use the bodies as moulds for jalopy bodies

. . . if they really are somewhere close to 1/32 that is.

I know people have been stung by Kinsmart die-casts purporting to be 1/32 and turning out to be much too small.

I'd try one out for myself, but their ad says they won't ship outside US.

That's encouraging,Dave.

I have a son who now lives in LA. Maybe I'll ask him to order me a couple and send them to me.

I have the Chevy flatbed, the "Model A" flatbed and the "Fire Chief" Chevy. All appear to be pretty close.

Thanks.

It's looking more and more hopeful for old 1/32 oval racers.

Check ebay , especially in the states, there always seems to be quite a few of their stuff listed and maybe the seller would ship overseas reasonable.
