Re: 1/64 blank police car

Place your bets.... will they actually be 1/64? Greenlight, like all the others, doesn't know what scale is.(at least the few I have seen in local Wal-Marts & K-Marts.... they are just like Jada & JL...WAY off)

Re: 1/64 blank police car

I put the calipers to the GL Charger and it is dead on 1/64. GL is working very hard to keep their cars a true 1/64.

Re: 1/64 blank police car

All the GL cars you see here(Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer, etc) are marked 1/64 & are closer to 1/55, if not larger.

Re: 1/64 blank police car

Green Light doesn't make the Pinto and Pacer. Those are Motor Max-Fresh Cherries models. Yes they are a bit large.

However the Motor Max Diplomat is almost dead on 1/64 as well. I measured the car and the wheel base is spot on and overall length is within 1 scale inch.

wither way I may pick up a few

"OOPs.... my mistake. "

Not a problem. I know you like things close to reported scale. So the Diplomat and Charger should work well for your Code 3 rigs. I picked up several extras of each just to keep around for projects. my hope is the Charger will come out as a blank and save me some work.

In regards to the CV we are finally seeing somewhat realistic wheels in 1/64 scale. The appear to lack the holes the 1:1 wheels have but That i can deal with. No longer is it a hubcap painted black. Now for that light bar ... I wish they had used the LED off the charger or did something more realistic. Lucky for me I have a large cache of small scale lights.
