I follow a kid on Facebook that does some amazing die-cast car photography where he uses scale cars to imitate real-life scenes. On a short video he posted the other day he showed a 1:18 scale Vista Cruiser that was gold in color. I've looked all over ebay and can't find any information. Is anyone here familiar with this car and where it might be found?

 

Best of Show 1:18 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Station Wagon BOS351 RARE #277/504 | eBay

 

BOS models are not die cast but resin cast. Still pretty cool but won’t have opening hood/doors/trunk. They also offer a ‘64 Vista.

 

Holy crap. If $500 + is the going rate I'm out. That's a bit ridiculous.

 

Sold for $525 apparently. I could buy a nice roof rack with shipping from DVAP for that price for my Vista.

 

I’ve been collecting 1:18 scale cars since 2001. I have seen the market flooded with both very affordable to high end expensive options dwindle to two groups. One being $15-20 Maisto examples, and the other $130 plus. I agree that it’s crazy and am thankful that I’ve already filled my cabinet. If I were to start over today, it would be very financially discouraging. Strangely, the resin cars seem to bring equal money to metal die cast with much superior detail.

 

Ya, but you’ll be money ahead from the gas you save
