Motor World And County Roads

Greenlight LLC recently released two new sets of diecast vehicles in 1:64 Scale for the collector.  They include the Motorworld Series broken down into three categories: All American, Classic and Speed.  A total of 12 cars are in the series.  County Roads Series 4 Limited Edition is the other set with a total of six cars in the series.

Both series of diecast boast Greenlight’s excellent sculpting (you can even see the lines in the doors and hoods.  They look so real it appears as if you could actually open them.), rubberlike tires, crisp paint application, spot-on chroming, fitted windows and windshields and accurate and detailed interiors.

The County Roads series consists of a 1970 Pontiac GTO painted in a bright red that includes twin hood scoops, a two-tone, white and baby blue paint scheme 1968 Chevrolet C-10 truck with full cab and bed details, a 2019 Ford Taurus Sho decked out in black paint and chrome trim, a black 1987 Pontiac Firebird Formula with gold wheels and hood decal and sunroof, a 1977 Dodge Ramcharger truck painted in camouflage colors with roll bars, open roof and black interior and a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Laconia, NH Fire Dept. four door painted in traditional white and red with roof lights.

Each vehicle comes packaged in a sealed bubble pack with the vehicle set against a special County Roads road panel.  Sweet!

The Motor World All American Series includes four classic vehicles that are sure to send the collector’s heart pounding.  First up is an early production Ford F-100 with red roof and hood, white body exterior, side door decals, inset small bed, solid chrome straight bumpers and six window cab.  The convertible, two-seat, baby blue Shelby Cobra 427 S/C is all business and speed with its side mufflers, driver back cage, bullet chrome front and rear bumpers and sleek black interior. The Chevrolet Bel Air is a white and baby blue two-tone beauty with oversize chrome wheels with whitewall tires, accent chrome body strips, front swept passenger compartment and chrome-lots of chrome!  The black Cadillac Eldorado is a red interior convertible with lots of muscle as indicated by its heavy body, huge size an and over abundance of chrome, whitewall tires and chrome wheels.

The Speed series includes a trio of high-octane bullets on wheels that every sports car enthusiast is sure to want.  Starting with the red Jaguar XK with its oversize chrome wheels and low profile passenger compartment and sleek design to the silver BMW Z4 convertible with black interior, off center passenger compartment with extended head rests to the Lamborghini Gallardo painted in metallic blue/lavender and as sleek as they come, this collection practically moves standing still.

Last, but certainly not least, is the Motor World Classic Series that includes the Good Year Mercedes-Benz Sprinter utility truck painted in white, blue and yellow with side Good Year decals, enclosed cargo space and wedge-shape front with extended rood top.  The red, with black window trim, high-profile and oversize wheels Land Rover, Range Rover is all business as evidence by its solid construction.  The Mini-Cooper is painted a dull military green with green and white checkerboard roof, black wheels and interior and twin white striped hood.  The Volkswagen Samba Bus is a multi-window transport painted in two-tine white and baby blue, sports chrome wheels and bumpers, the classic VW van front design with logo and a rounded body for stability and aerodynamic fuel efficiency. 
The solid black Volkswagen 30 VW Bug has red wheels, minimal chrome, but with chrome trimmed windows with no rear window.

Greenlight continues to turn out affordable but high-quality diecast vehicles that both the novice and collector can enjoy.
