You can always changeout the chassis.

MTH Railking does sell scale cars 1/43. They have a 1957 Chevy Belair and a Nomad. I bought the Belair on a recent trip. It doesn't have front turning wheels. That' the oldest the others are 60's vintage.
Thanks.
I guess most people buy these diecasts mainly as show pieces. One site I found sells awesome Corvettes with front streering but a 1998 Vet doesn't look the best in an early 1950's train layout :laugh:
That company's cars look so real that in a photo one couldn't tell they're models.
But right now I'm working on weathering my tracks to make them look more like real tracks. I don't like the painting method so I'm experimenting with real rust micro thin. I'm surprised that this is an area rarely discussed by Lionel railroaders.
Most sites dealing with weathering are HO train sites. All so far I've found use paint to age things.
I guess I'll have to figure it out and be the first to show others how to ruin their tracks with real rust :laugh:
To me shiny silver tracks really look dorkie. I'm using all Lionel 0 gauge vintage track.
