All appear to feature chromed plastic baseplates and state the name on the baseplate. They were likely made in the 1970s and not sure how they were offered. Most recently, I found a bright yellow VW 411 which not all that bad. Thanks, Kimmo Here is, the similarly scaled to Matchbox, Opel Commodore... Edited by KimmoSahakangas, Nov 11 2009, 12:07 AM.

Stelco is best known for a range of approx. 1:43 scale soft plastic toy cars (vinyl cars or so-called "rubber cars"), similar to Tomte, Galanite, NP etc. This is why it is mentioned on the following website: http://www.lamsma.nl/tomte/stelco.htm Otherwise there is hardly any information to be found about the brand. The vinyl cars are common, but the three inch hard plastic cars are fairly seldom seen, even in Germany. Edited by ChFalkensteiner, Nov 19 2009, 01:14 AM.

Correction...a 412 not 411! Kimmo
