Bullitt, The Mod Squad, The Mystery Machine, The Partridge Family and Black Beauty


Throughout the history of movies and TV shows there have always been iconic vehicles.  For example James Bond’s Aston Martin or Batman’s Batmobile.

Johnny Lightning contributes four diecast vehicles and GreenLight Collectibles one in the genre.

Greenlight’s Hollywood 1968 Black Dodge Charger R/T from the movie Bullitt recreates one of the cars used in the film.

Bullitt set the standard by which all other car chase scenes in movies adhere to.

The chase through San Francisco basically is the genesis of high action, high power and fast car chase scenes seen in movies and TV for decades.

Sealed in a bubble pack the car is mounted against a Bullitt movie poster recreation.

The black car has full interior and exterior details including chrome trim, plastic windows and rubber wheels--all of which are included on the other vehicles, mentioned in this review.

The Johnny Lightning's Scooby-Doo! Mystery Machine van is painted up just like its larger namesake in aqua, light green and light orange.  Special light green wheels and a front spare tire cover are also included.

Next to the Batmobile The Green Hornet’s Black Beauty is a gadget packed crime-fighting machine.

Solid black, the large sedan includes a large chrome grill, square headlights and extended body on a heavy-duty frame.

The Partridge Family School Bus, decorated in bright geometric shapes in red, blue, yellow and white with heavy black borders has multiple windows, ‘The Partridge Family’ text on each side and full rear and front decorations.

The Mod Squad Woody has a solid metal body and chassis, wood trim and panels on all sides, a black spare tire compartment on its rear and heavy chrome bumpers and wheels

All of the movie and TV show vehicles are nicely detailed, accurate in appearance to their namesakes and made for the adult collector.
