1930's Classic from Auto World Available for Pre-Order!

Known by many different names throughout the years, the Peerless Company of Cleveland, Ohio, was truly a jack of all trades. The beginning of the 20th century brought them great success after their transition out of the bike business and into car production.

Some of the most advanced, luxurious vehicles available to Americans at the time were produced by Peerless.

1931 Peerless Master 8 Sedan in Black and Silver

Shifting gears again during the Great Depression, the production plant released less than 1,500 cars in its final year before fully committing to a new identity as a beer brewery for the Canadian brand Carling. Luckily, the 1931 Peerless Master 8 rolled out to buyers a few years before the Peerless Company stopped producing automobiles entirely.

 In this beautiful 1/18 scale Auto World reproduction, the hood swings up to show off engine details. In
addition, the accurate interior can be admired due to the model's functional "suicide" doors.

There are fewer than 500 Peerless Motor cars still known to exist, with less than a dozen from 1931. With such scarcity, it's no wonder why Auto World chose to recreate this classic 1931 Peerless Master 8 for collectors to enjoy.

This model celebrates a unique Western Distributing fleet truck from years back, driven by WDTC senior driver, Frank Piroddi. According to Piroddi, he is currently driving his last truck, #777 for good luck, after more than 40 years of service at WDTC. Coincidentally, #777 was the number of his first truck as well.

Frank's handle for his first truck was the "Italian Stallion", as graphically represented on the side of the tractor's sleeper. The "Fly Like an Eagle" graphic emblazoned on the air deflector was added later by request, as Frank was known for his speed, still holding the record at fourteen pickups of wine in California in one day!

NEW Prestige Collection Tractors Coming Soon from ERTL

International Harvester, now Case IH, has been an institution in farming for well over a hundred years. Forging American steel for a century has led to a wide variety of tractor designs through the decades, several of which are coming soon as part of ERTL's Prestige Collection.

Debuting in the 1960s as a replacement for the aging IH 706 series, the Farmall 806 had a variety of engine options and originally sold for almost $7000 in 1967! ERTL's 1/16 scale replica features steerable front wheels with rubber tires in a narrow-front configuration:

In the 1970s IH assembled hundreds of dedicated demonstrators, to be sent to dealerships across the nation. These beautiful tractors, incredibly rare now, included Golden Demonstrators and Black Knights, the latter of which appears below. The Case 970 Black Knight is a rare breed, and ERTL has precisely replicated it in 1/16 scale, from the interior of the cab to the gold highlights and badging that mark this model as a demonstrator:

A true success story, Case IH lives on even today, continuing to produce high-quality tractors and implements for some of the hardest working people on the planet: farmers. The Case IH Steiger 580 is one such machine, designed to provide the power you need for any job. ERTL has replicated the wheeled, heavy duty version of this tractor, which adds additional muscle and sets a unique profile:

C.R. England's Honored Veteran Truck by DCP Is Available for Pre-Order Today!

In 1920, Chester England kickstarted the C.R. England company with the purchase of his first Model T truck in Plain City, Utah. However, it wasn't until World War II that C.R. England's Honored Veteran Program began with Chester's sons, Gene and Bill England.

Selling their cigarette rations overseas during their service, the brothers amassed enough savings to purchase a second truck for the family business upon their return home. As part of their Honored Veteran Program, C.R. England unveils a special edition truck each year in honor of all the men and women who have fought on behalf of America.
