These 1:24 scale replicas are of the Buick Regal race cars, along with the best drivers from 1981 thru 1983, such as Richard Petty, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip.
Produced from makers like Monogram (MPC) and JR Salvinos, they represent the various drivers Buick Regals as used throughout the racing season in the NASCAR, stock car, and Grand National racing series.
Kids that grew up in the 1970s-1990s probably remember these toys well, since that was a very popular passtime hobby. And a very inexpensive one at the time, as model kits like this were only about 5 or 6 dollars at the time!
There’s modelists, or hobbyists, who still take pleasure in actually building these types of vehicles. Of course, it costs a bit more nowadays with the price of these plastic automobiles being about $15-25 in the stores.
(these NOS versions as shown below are $40+ on the secondary market should you be interested in acquiring any of them)
