Geno Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 I'll probably pick up the blue and black versions, these should detail out nicely.
Rob Hall Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Nice... they have these in 1/64th and 1/43rd also..I have the blue & black in 1/64th, will have to check out the 1/24th.
GLMFAA1 Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 I only saw the 1/18th scale on their web page, no 1/24th greg
Rob Hall Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Greenlight's website is often out of date, the 1/24th are available from retailers like Diecast Models Wholesale or on eBay. Edited July 11, 2019 by Rob Hall
Geno Posted July 11, 2019 Author Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Hi Greg, Robert is correct, it's listed in an email I get from Diecast Models Wholesale's website. They shoot me an email whenever something new is added to the site. Edited July 11, 2019 by Geno

Dave Van Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Are they scale or box scale??? Many 1/24 die cast are NOT neat scale....check some of the FnF cars!!
Geno Posted July 11, 2019 Author Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Hi Dave, I have a couple of the Greenlight 1/24 and they seem to be pretty much to scale. Ya never know though lol. Hope that helps. Edited July 11, 2019 by Geno
Rob Hall Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 For cheap 1/24th, I've found Greenlight diecast to be pretty nice.
Gramps46 Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 I tried to order the black Cady and was told they are not in stock yet. Bummer.
Geno Posted July 11, 2019 Author Posted July 11, 2019 Hmmm, must be pre-production photos maybe, or maybe they're just getting the word out with pics as a heads up. Either way they've got me lol. Another Caddy or 2 for the fleet.

randyc Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I have the blue in 1/64 and got lucky on the 1/24 Franklin Mint pink one with guitar a few months back. But good to see them coming. If cheap enough, would be a nice set of wheels and tires. Engine maybe? Other parts harvest?
Geno Posted July 18, 2019 Author Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I've seen these listed at 8" in length and also at 9", either way it would be short. In 1/24 it should be about 9-1/2" based on the 227.3" length of the real car. Bummer, I may pass and wait for an FM for a decent price. I emailed Greenlight to get an answer on size but haven't gotten a reply so I kinda figure it's not true 1/24.. Edited July 18, 2019 by Geno
randyc Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 The FM car is a monster, size wise. So yeah if you wait you can find them reasonably priced. I think mine was less than $50 delivered, with guitar and all. It's nice to have the big cars really be imposing when beside other cars.
Geno Posted July 19, 2019 Author Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I agree Randy, don't list a model as 1/24 or 1/25 if it isn't. That just frustrates me and I'm sure many others. I had gotten my hopes up for this one, the last Greenlight model I bought was the '67 Impala which scaled out nicely. Edited July 19, 2019 by Geno
Gramps46 Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I fully support the feelings expressed above. At least Welly is being honest enough to mark models as 1/24 -1/27 on their boxed diecasts.
