Volkswagen Die Cast Replicas
Volkswagen, the German car manufacturer based in Wolfsburg, Germany, has been building cars since the 1930s. While some models have become cult classics, this devotion to the brand also extends to die-cast replicas. Die-cast replicas of the the Beetle, Microbus, and other models have generated a dedicated following of collectors.
History of Volkswagen Replicas like many die-cast replica products, early replicas were produced primarily as children's toys. Wiking marketed 1:40 scale beetles, transporters and pickup truck replicas in the 1950s. Corgi followed in the 1960s with a wide range of Volkswagen vehicle replicas. Taiyo and the EF White Co. also produced model toys in the 1960's. Not many of these older replicas and toys are still available on the market, and when they do appear, they can command a hefty price at auction. A Hot Wheels 1969 Beach Bomb replica, of which only 25 are known to exist, was sold for a record $72,000 at auction in 2000.
Most Popular Replica Models the Beetle and the Microbus are by far the most prolific models in die-cast circles. For over 40 years, these two models have been replicated in die-cast form by many manufacturers in a huge range of standard and customized formats. While most of the other models are represented in die-cast replica manufacturers' product lines, they do not match the scope of replicas available for these two models. This is not surprising, given the cult following of the Beetle and the Microbus in full-size form beginning in the 1960s and continuing to the present day. Manufacturers of Volkswagen Replicas over the years, several manufacturers have produced replicas of Volkswagen vehicle models. Some of these manufacturers include:
Revel Germany - Revell Germany, most known for their plastic model kits, also currently has a popular line of ready-made 1/18 scale die-cast vehicles, including several Volkswagen models. In addition to the standard Beetle and Microbus models, Revell also manufactures some older Volkswagen models, such as the Karmann-Ghia.
Jada Toys - Jada produces standard replicas of a wide range of models, as well as customized models in both 1/24 and 1/64 scales.
Corgi Toys - Corgi Toys manufactured a few models in the late 1950s and through the 1960s.
Hot Wheels - A beetle model was one of the first Hot Wheels products in 1968. Hot Wheels continues to manufacture a variety of 1/64 scale Volkswagen replicas.
Micro-Machines - Micro-Machines released a line of Volkswagen replicas in the late 1980s through the 1990s. Micro-Machine models are slightly larger than N-scale models, which range from 1/148 to 1/160.
Maisto - Maisto manufactures a line of VW replicas, but the quality of their models and the vehicle detail are lower than those of other manufacturers.
Volkswagen die-cast replicas continue to be a popular choice for collectors in a variety of scales. Manufacturers are taking advantage of the popularity by continuing to maintain product lines that contain Volkswagen models, particularly the Beetle and Microbus.

Vehicle Leasing $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Vehicle leasing is the leasing of the use of a motor vehicle for a fixed or indefinite period of time. It is commonly offered by dealers as an alternative to vehicle purchase. The key difference in a lease is that after the lease expires, the lessee must return the vehicle to the dealer or buy it.Leasing offers advantages to both buyers and sellers. For the buyer, lease payments will usually be lower than payments on a car loan would be, and qualification is usually easier. Some consumers may prefer leasing as it allows them to simply return a car and select a new model when the lease expires, allowing a consumer to drive a new vehicle every few years without the responsibility of selling the old vehicles. A lessee does not have to worry about the future value of the vehicle, while a vehicle owner does. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Concept Vehicle $90.81 A concept vehicle or show vehicle is a car prototype made to showcase a concept, new styling, technology and more. They are often shown at motor shows to gauge customer reaction to new and radical designs which may or may not have a chance of being produced. General Motors designer Harley Earl is generally credited with inventing the concept, or show, car, and did much to popularize it through its traveling Motorama shows of the 1950s. Concept cars never go into production directly; in modern times all would have to undergo many changes before the design is finalized for the sake of practicality, safety and cost. A productionintent vehicle, as opposed to a concept vehicle, serves this purpose.
