Greenlight Collectibles: Limited Edition 15-Car Route 66 Diecast Car Set
Greenlight Collectibles will be releasing in mid-November a 15-car “Route 66” tribute diecast set!
Seeing the image of the case above makes for a smart looking set imo! The diecast cars will be packaged in a display Collector case (cardboard reinforced with two walls of plastic to help keep the cars in place) with a road map packaging that charts out the “Mother Road” through each of the eight states from Chicago to L.A.
This will be a limited edition set of just 4,260 units. “All materials used are authentic with real rubber tires (cool!) and 100% die-cast metal body and chassis” – according to Greenlight. These sets will be available for sale “mid-November 2010” for $64.99 MSRP (rounds out to about $4.33 per car) will be available exclusively at Toys ‘R’ Us, Toysrus.com and Toys ‘R’ Us Australia. Nice to see Greenlight share some collector love outside the U.S. – lucky Yanks and Aussies!
Many of the cars also are first time releases for Greenlight such as the 1964 Chrysler Convertible, 1978 Plymouth Trail Duster, 1988 Ford Mustang GT Stock and 2011 Ford Shelby GT 500 Convertible.
Here are the cars that are included in the limited edition:
1:64 Route 66’s 15 Car Assortment:
1959 Chevy Corvette 1964 Chrysler 300K
1965 Ford Galaxie 500 1965 Ford Mustang GT

We will try to get links for you guys once we can determine when the sets go ‘live’ online and/or confirm in-store units showing up. Happy collecting on your 1:64’s!

Should have been some classic hotrods in that set
In the list; 1978 Plymouth Duster should be 1978 Plymouth Trail Duster. orange or red and white, in upper right corner of box. It’s like a Dodge Ram Charger or Chevy Blazer.
Good eye there you old hippie! Greenlight had that correct in their copy but didn’t have it listed as such in the list when I copied it so my mistake there. Those were cool cars that reaaally liked fuel – even back then.
Boy, I sure hope they offer a lenticular set as well! 😉
😆
What, no 67-72 Chevy Pickups?
I guess you’ll have to settle for the Dodge D-100. 🙁
Received my Walmart Tuners 4-Pack today. They sure didn’t disappoint by bending the cardback 🙁 Good thing this was intended as an opener.
Everyone needs their own Shelby 🙂
nice set
NICE ! A must have set ! 🙂
That’s a nice looking set, even if the cars don’t have eyes…
I may consider ordering this…
I like this set. I may get one. And, it’s better they have no eyes than changing eyes. At least we can be certain that these cars won’t be lenticular.
I wonder if any of these will be available as singles? I only collect newer Mustangs (so I’d love the 2011 Shelby) and police cars from GL.
