Smitty had the ideal of everyone posting your build along with an image of the car from the movie. Here is the Hot Rod Hellin

I didnt look at the cop car, but the MB Corvettes I have are usually shown as 1:60th in scale.

Good point Milt, I'm going to drop the 1/64th Scale rule. Very few of the HW cars are 1/64 scale anyway. Just be within the dimension limits.

Rule change on page one.

That is true about the HWs Stroller, but I have always taken 1:64 to be the relative scale size anyway. I recall seeing somewhere that most HWs are closer to 1:72 scale. I know MB used to make all their vehicles fit to the size of their "matchbox" packaging, but with modern HWs (and the new MB series) they can now more easily change the blister pack size and shape to match the actual car dimensions.

Apparently it's not just the Dubai Police force that has the best toys (although their fleet is insanely impressive). Los Angeles just stepped up its fleet game with the addition of a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Fast Fred's Robber is the "Duke of Earl" '49 Merc driven by the Pharos club in the movie American Graffiti...called Smash ;
