randyc Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) The Dodge Neon and Olds Aurora were done as a promo at the time, by the same company. And didn't Polar Lights do the Holden GTO? I'll have to do some digging. But, I seem to remember buying one? I bought a full set of Brookfield Collector Guild Chryselr promos. a NEON challenge race car, a 4 dr Neon, a 2 dr Neon, A Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Cirrus, and a Viper GTS coupe. All curbside promos, but they were out there. I have a diecast body Chrysler LHS from Brookfiled as well. I could only afford one of the set at the time. I missed the first gen Aurora but they are still available on ebay. I sold the cloud cars to Faust on this board. I miss them, but they went to live with a better family. LOL. Brookfield was doing some contemporary cars, but I think they got bought by Action or someone to make more NASCAR stuff, which was huge at the time. Someone also mentioned the Cherokee - Tamiya (?) did a Grand Cherokee back in the day. Aoshima? did a nice Pathfinder and 4Runner as well with the tires that were sold as Satcos at that time. I think Satco was the Aoshima importer or something like that? I bought all of those as well. Just things that were out of the mainstream, plus I was into 4x4s at the time and hated the Monster truck kits. I put the Revellogram bass boat behind my 4Runner. Wouldn't it be nice to see a B-O-P version of the tri-5 chevies? Would break up the constant Edited October 26, 2017 by randyc
Greg Myers Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 My son has a 1:1 later car with the hood scoops, had to go with a dicast version to get one for him, still a nice kit.

I noticed some of the versions were scoop cars and some weren't. Is that the difference? The scooped cars are die-cast?
