Support your local demo derby.

The first white car is a Yatming. Most of the 8 dot trucks are Welly models. The Ford van is of course a MB. I have no idea what or who made the silver car in the 2nd pic.

Zach i dont think the first white car is a yat.it has no maker or casting number on the base.the base only has china on it.
i thought if the you dont see yat ming it would have the casting number.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
The first is definitely a Yat Ming Lamborghini Miura. No doubts about that at all. I have one in green with the same stripe pattern.

Second is a Summer Porsche 928.

The rest- Zach's guess sounds good to me.

It's either #1001 or #817. I've never been able to figure out the difference between the two!

To clear up some confusion, yes, the Lambo is a Yat Ming casting...even without a name or number on the base. It came from a cereal promotion, which consisted of several Yat Ming cars, with plain bases, one model included in a box of cereal. The Porsche 928 and Jaguar XJS were two other released with the plain bases.

The silver Porsche you show, is a Summer! (How would I know that?!?!? :) )

The green Chevy Van, and the three pickups WITHOUT wing windows, as well as the yellow Escort Cabriolet, are all Welly castings. The Chevy Step-Side pickups with wing windows, were made by the Universal family, but I'm not sure if they are actually Universal.... And yes, I know they (incorrectly) identify them as Ford F-150's on the base. They are Chevys though,
