Over the decades there have been dozens if not hundreds of model names for automobiles. Very few of these model names live on over a long period of time and even fewer have an unbroken lineage over that timespan. The latest release from Auto World celebrate some of those nameplates that have survived over the decades, with the Yesterday & Today theme. This release also takes into consideration the chassis designs of the ThunderJet and Xtraction chassis past and present histories. Release #1 (SC400) has 3 of the classic names from Ford and Dodge, from back in the day and some of their more recent versions. This release also has the new tooling of the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat-Redeye. Let’s take a look at this latest offering.
