Police Sting!

This is a Hornet worthy of its name.

In 1951 the Hudson Hornet boasted the largest six-cylinder engine in the world.  This car featured the H-145 engine which measured 308 cubic inches along with dual carburetors that produced around 145 horsepower at 3800 rpm's and measured at 275 lb/ft of torque.  Wow!  It's no wonder this car dominated stock car racing in the early '50s.

The first-generation Hornets featured a chassis with a lower center of gravity, which is one of the reasons it made a great racing machine.  From the dropped floor pan to the streamlined styling, this is a car that sings of luxury.  Underneath all that luxurious sheen is a mighty motor, itching to push the limits on and off the road.

The Franklin Mint has turned this beloved car into a highly collectible model.  This replica is done in 1/24 scale and measures around 8" long.  It's painted in a classic black and white police paint scheme with police decals on both of the coupe's doors.  To top it all off (literally) there is an era-correct police radio, sirens, and lights, completing the package.

The windows are clear, giving a good view of the detailed interior.  You can also open the trunk, hood, and doors for a closer inspection.

This is a limited edition replica of only 1,500 models worldwide - once they're gone, they're gone for good.

Price $144.95

Harley Davidsons at 3000toys.com

I know we've got some great Harley fans out there, and this post is for you! I went through our products and picked out some especially exciting items that I want to show you.



Here's a hot seller! The Harley Davidson 2010 FLSTN Softail Deluxe in White Ice Pearl and Black Ice Pearl, from DCP. Cast in 1/12 scale, it goes for $74.99. Item #81140.







If you're looking for something smaller or need to stay more within a budget, here's the Harley for you! Maisto's Harley Series 24 includes this great 2002 FXDX Dyna Super Glide Sport in black. This one's a bit smaller than the item above, cast in 1/18 scale. It sells for $7.95. Item #31760X-1.





If you're a collector of just about anything Harley, here we have a International Trailer COE with a Harley-Davidson Petroleum Tanker, a great and detailed model from DCP. This should come in this month or next, and we're accepting pre-orders for it now! As the traditional DCP semi size, this is cast in 1/64 scale. It's selling price is $49.95. Item #81107.




For our collectors of older Harleys, here's just the model for you. The 1966 Electra Glide from Franklin Mint, hand-painted in dramatic Hi Fi Blue. "With the desires of its customers always front & center, Harley® introduced the electric-start version of its popular FL series in 1965. Now, you can own a piece of Harley-Davidson® history by parking this classic in your collection. Hand-assembled from over 125 separate parts, every detail is flawlessly captured, from each "shovelhead" cylinder head to the dual spotlights and fully instrumented control console." This model comes in 1/10 scale, and sells for $169.95. Item #B11F076.






For the ultimate Harley collector, here's an item that I just though was awesome. The Harley Davidson Monopoly Set. "Think of it as the Monopoly game charged with 80ccs of raw power. Incorporating the classic strategy of the Monopoly game with the Harley-Davidson® legacy of open-road freedom. With a full complement of individually sculptured gaming pieces, each lavishly coated in sterling silver. There are sensational new hotels and houses rich with accents of 24 karat gold or sterling silver, as well as custom-designed "Community Chest" and "Chance" cards. Combining legendary Monopoly game graphics with illustrations that celebrate the history of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles, the handsome hardwood-framed playing board is accentuated with corners that are enhanced with silver-toned die-cast bolsters. To house all your components, a custom-designed banker's drawer is fitted into the playing board." This item is also from Franklin Mint and goes for $595.00. Item #B11ZI36.

Newest Releases from Franklin Mint!

Just arrived in our warehouses this week, we have four new items from Franklin Mint, ready to ship out to you now! Franklin Mint manufactures high quality, precision engineered, die-cast cars. These that we just got in are no exception. Below are my personal favorites:


Item# B11F859 - 1/24 Scale
1957 Chevrolet El Dorado Brougham LE

Originally released in 1957 for the astonishing price of $13,000.00, the formidable 1957 Cadillac® Eldorado™ Brougham came with standard features like cruise control, fully electric windows and door locks, automatic starter, air conditioning and automatic adjustable memory seats. Designed after the Park Avenue and Orleans Motorama show cars, just 400 cars were ordered and hand built to owner specifications. The epitome of luxury even by today's standards, the 1957 Cadillac® Eldorado™ Brougham is available in a Limited Edition of only 1,500 pieces worldwide.


Item# S11E932 - 1/24 Scale
1965 Corvette Sting Ray Fiberglass Coupe

Just when Corvette® lovers thought things could not get any better, along came the '65 Sting Ray™. Out were the hood vents of earlier models. In were three functioning front-fender louvers for increased airflow. Gone were the rear drum brakes of previous years, replaced by the smoother, easier four-wheel disc variety.
But the most significant change of all...the introduction of the thoroughly awesome 396 Turbo Jet engine — first of the factory built Big Blocks to power a Corvette® — equally at home on the track as on the street, to the degree that many who owned one drove their pride-and-joy "a quarter mile at a time!"
Just like the actual auto, this sensational model features a body of real fiberglass, hand-painted in Silver Pearl. With limited production numbers of just 1,965 models worldwide, only a very fortunate few can own the real deal!

Calling all Lamborghini fans!

This spring, Franklin Mint has an array of new Lamborghini offerings for collectors!
The 1.5 million dollar, mid-engine Lamborghini Reventón debuted in 2007 with many mechanical aspects inspired by the Murciélago. Its outer look was unique, though, having been inspired by a variety of fighter aircraft silhouettes.
The Lamborghini Miura SV was created to be capable of 155 MPH. It was produced from 1968 - 1972, after being introduced in Paris during the 1966 Monte Carlo Grande Prix.

These classic 1/18 models, along with many other new Lamborghini and Ferrari releases are available at 3000toys.com!

1933 Was A Very Good Year

Once again, Franklin Mint raises the bar with several beautiful new models. 3000toys was excited to receive these two beauties earlier this week!

The 1933 Ford Tudor Chicago Police Car evokes a nostalgic spirit. Cast in historic detail, this is a stunning piece we think you'll be glad to add to your collection.
This 1933 Dusenberg J. Victoria in Burgundy has been eagerly anticipated since the announcement of its impending arrival. In the 1930's, this Dusenberg was the car associated with wealth, glamour, and all things Hollywood. Greta Garbo even had a special model named after her. This gorgeous piece is a model of the original Dusenberg presented at the Paris Salon in 1932, and made available to purchase in 1933. This is truly a piece of automotive history!

PS- Only 20 days left till Christmas...

It's BLACK FRIDAY

It's BLACK FRIDAY!

The earliest uses of "Black Friday" were in Philidephia and referred to the heavy traffic on that day, a direct comparison to the stressful and chaotic experience of Black Tuesday in 1929 when the stock-market crashed. In more recent history, it is the day named for when most retailers go from being in the 'red' all year to finally being in the 'black'.


But, for the Christmas shopper, it's the day to get GREAT DEALS!
