By the way, the pink Cadillac is a 1962 DeVille.

^ 1959. The least mistakable Cadillac year.

By the way, the pink Cadillac is a 1962 DeVille.

More likely a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 coupe or a 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville :smile:
The 1960 models had a different rear end.

Maybe some Cadillac expert could explain the de Ville // 62 Series difference? It seemed to be trim levels first, and became separate series in 1959?

(Edit: passed by Lateef. Next time, I'll refresh the page before posting :smile: )

Here are three cars easily recognizable: the first is very common in the streets of my country:
1997 Mercedes-Benz A-Class [W168]
28/09/2014 @ 21:08:32: Mark99: identifying toy cars
This one, instead, a little less...
Porsche 911 Carrera
28/09/2014 @ 21:10:45: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Finally, you can see this one on the American roads. I don't know the make, but the model is called 'Scorcher'.

These cars belong to my cousin. They look very interesting. Let's start with these two trucks (International or Mack, I think)...
28/09/2014 @ 21:21:35: Mark99: identifying toy cars
These ones, instead, look like two Hummers...
28/09/2014 @ 21:23:11: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Ducati
28/09/2014 @ 21:24:35: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Police van
28/09/2014 @ 21:26:21: Mark99: identifying toy cars
This one looks like a Hummer too.
28/09/2014 @ 21:28:17: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Another one with Hummer looking.

Typical situation from an action movie... all the vehicles blow up while the grey SUV doesn't know what is going to fall on its roof...
28/09/2014 @ 21:35:32: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Chevrolet
28/09/2014 @ 21:39:03: Mark99: identifying toy cars
Thor's car... (it is surely invented...)
28/09/2014 @ 21:50:23: Mark99: identifying toy cars
This one belonged to me: I loved this car very much, I've always played with it. It's a Chevrolet Montecarlo.

After the -sorry Mark99- cheap and low-spec stuff something classic. I've bought it for a ridicoulous price in an antique/curios-shop in Scotland two weeks ago:

This one, the early 50ies US-Car and the camping-trailer, I haven't bought, because I had no idea about the originality and the value, but because the asked price was also extremely low, I decided to went to the shop again the following day - but then it was already sold. :sad:

Can anyone identify make and value?

On the ferry -"King Seaways" was this model displayed:

Unfortunately the pics of the ferry-display in the former ship on that route, the "Queen of Scandinavia", we had used on former travelling failed :sad:

There the scale-model was loaded with mid-60ies WIKING-cars, all the today high-priced first versions with windows! :love:

If I'm not mistaken, the yellow car is the 1967 Pininfarina BMC 1800 Berlina Aerodinamica concept car which is said to have inspired both Citroën CX and Rover SD1...
07/10/2014 @ 22:54:41: weasel1984: identifying toy cars
Yes, it is Aerodinamica indeed.
Excellent collection (and ferry too)!

On the trip back home I've noticed, that behind these two lines therere are two more lines Matchbox-cars, all older ones from the early 60ies. But unfortunately it was impossible to take pics of them.
