The first one is De Tomaso Pantera by Welly
Second one is Nissan 300ZX by Welly too.

Wheels with 8 "spokes" combined with that kind of an overall look usually point to Welly.
I personally haven't seen the 300ZX in that variation before - it usually appears in green with a couple tampos variation.

The third one is a Honda Civic by Yat Ming.
Wheels with 6 "spokes" are almost unique to Yat Ming. Also numbers in bottom with "8xx" or "1xxx" (818 in the Civic's base) are mostly pointing to the brand in question

Cool! After looking at photos of wheels in the Yatming Bay I figured the green Honda Civic might be Yatming.
I have never heard of Welly before so that's something new for me. Thanks!

Thanks for identifying the makes of the cars too! :thumbup:

You'll find Yatming and Welly in the database, Yatming is pretty extensive, Welly still needs a lot of work, but should still be helpful.

Thanks! I'm such a newbie that I initially went hunting the thrift shops for old Hot Wheels. The place I go to has bags of used cars for anywhere from $2-$3 a bag with 10 to 15 diecast vehicles per bag. Usually I sort through them and I had these ones put aside and was not able to identify them until I came to this site. :)

Wow, my thrift stores refuse to sell toys anymore. So I'm SOL here. Unless I find a mom and pop shop but they usually charge a fortune.

There is a chain of second hand stores here called Value Village and they sell toys. We have 3-4 of them with lots of diecast model cars. I generally clean them out....lol
