4th vitrine - Euromix and USA brands
 |
| Almost all these models , made in USA , are realy rebadged , better , they are packed inside american boxes . In this shelf a couple of small resin models to use on the Aurora slot chassis . Starting from the left , small series unknown maker Opel Speedster body to use on the Aurora slotcars chassis . The white resin kit seems to be a copy of the Matchbox model . Fast Lane , sold in the Toys R Us shops , are Realtoy models sold inside Fast Lane blisters or boxes . In the midle on this picture you can see a loose Calibra and a blister with two cars , an yellow Alfa Romeu and a red Calibra . No special decorations , but DTM type cars , with metal body , clear glazing , plastic interior and base . Speed Wheels , isn't a real brand name , we talk about Maisto standard models . On the back of the blister the name of the US importer . Maisto made two Opel models , the Speedster and the Ecospeedster , sold also under this name . Speedster is well done even if not as good as Matchbox and Welly , yellow metal body , clear glazing and black interior while the Ecospeedster is yellow and grey , clear glazing and black plastic interior . I have two Speedster models one " Series XI " and another " Series XIII " like the Ecospeedster . |

| Pic 2 , another view of Speed Wheels blisters and a new " maker " , Speedeeeee Wheels , in this case an old Yatming Admiral B , imported in the USA by F.J. Strauss & Co . Like other old Yatming models , this good looking Admiral B isn't cheap . Yellow metal body , chromed plastic base including grille , front and rear lights and bumpers . Clear glazing and white plastic interior with black steering wheel and " fast wheels " . Later in the next vitrine we will find them again in the asian models . | |

Pic 3 , on the left a
better view of the Speedeeeee Wheels Admiral B .
The next model is an old acquaintance , the yellow standard Maisto Speedster , but with a Coca Cola blister and red advertising on both sides . This is a bit complicated because the model was made in China by an Hong Kong enterprise , sold and packed by Edocar , from Netherlands , for the american Coca Cola ! Like before , yellow metal body , clear glazing , black plastic interior and base . On the right side of the picture , three resin shells to use on Aurora slot chassis . Unknown maker from the USA , all bought on Ebay . |
