I'm fairly sure those are the danburry mint die cast cars...I remember seeing some of them before, especially the borden milk truck.

I always have a good time talking to young people about the fact that we actually had milk trucks back in the day...and that for some strange reason.....ALL of them always had squeeky breaks.

The paint on the models are amazing, very lifelike and impressive.

I dig how this cat was able to meld actual real backgrounds with model car and building imagination by way of his photographic angles.  glad he added some shots of how he did it, because I certainly wondered.

relating to the cars..... they SHOULD look nice at $150 per.  additionally.....how ironic is it that the danburry mint will sell you these model cars on an installment plan?
