The History of Majorette

Majorette has roots in France and a history that reaches back more than six decades. In 1961, Émile Véron founded Rail-Route, initially producing model railway products. The first small cars appeared under the Majorette name in 1964, and the company officially adopted the Majorette name by the end of 1967.

The company quickly became an important French miniature-car manufacturer. Early production took place in France before later expanding to Portugal. In 1976, Majorette introduced its first television advertising for its diecast cars.

A significant development came in 1980, when Majorette acquired Solido, another historic French model-car manufacturer. This connected two important names in French scale-model history and helped broaden the company's involvement with collector-oriented miniatures. Production later moved to Thailand in 1987.

After ownership changes during the 1990s and 2000s, Majorette became part of the Simba Dickie Group in 2010. The brand subsequently modernized its product range and manufacturing operations while retaining its traditional focus on small metal vehicles.

Majorette celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2024 and underwent a brand relaunch in 2025, continuing its development as a global miniature-vehicle brand.

Majorette 1:64 Diecast Cars

The heart of the modern Majorette collection is its 1:64 scale diecast cars. These compact models are approximately 7.5 cm long, although exact dimensions vary depending on the real vehicle represented.

Majorette's 1:64 models can be especially appealing to collectors because the scale allows many vehicles to be displayed together without requiring a large amount of shelf space.

Depending on the series and model, Majorette vehicles may feature:

• Metal chassis
• Rubber tires
• Individually designed wheels
• Separately inserted headlights
• Printed mirrors and graphics
• Opening doors or other moving parts
• Licensed vehicle designs
• Collector packaging or display cases

The exact construction and features vary between product lines, so collectors should check the specifications of each individual model before purchasing. Majorette's premium Collection releases, for example, can include a metal chassis, rubber tires, individually designed rims, inserted headlights, printed mirrors, and a display case.

Majorette Collection Series

One of the most collector-focused parts of the current range is the Majorette Collection, which celebrates recognizable vehicles from automotive history.

Current Collection releases include subjects such as the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1965 Shelby GT350, 1965 Ford GT40 Mk1, and 1995 Toyota Supra, among others. The Collection series focuses on iconic cars from different decades, giving collectors an opportunity to build a chronological display of automotive history.

The series covers vehicles from approximately the 1950s through the early 2000s, making it particularly interesting for enthusiasts of:

• Classic American cars
• Muscle cars
• European classics
• Japanese performance cars
• Historic racing cars
• Automotive icons
• 20th-century car culture

The Collection models are also presented differently from many standard small-scale toy vehicles, with premium packaging and, on selected releases, transparent display cases designed for collectors.

Majorette Vintage Cars

Majorette has a long history of producing miniature versions of recognizable automobiles, and its current vintage-oriented ranges continue that tradition.

The VW The Originals series, for example, includes vehicles such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Golf Mk1, and Volkswagen T1 Bus. These models are produced in 1:64 scale and feature metal construction with moving parts on selected vehicles.

Volkswagen models are especially appropriate for collectors interested in European automotive history, while other Majorette collections can provide opportunities to collect American, Japanese, and international vehicles.

Vintage-car collecting can also be organized by decade. A collector might build a display around 1950s American automobiles, 1960s muscle cars, 1970s European vehicles, 1980s performance cars, or 1990s Japanese sports cars.

Majorette Racing and Motorsport Models

Motorsport is another important part of the Majorette portfolio. The brand's official description specifically includes racing models, while current releases include historically significant racing subjects such as the Ford GT40 Mk1.

A 1:64 racing collection can be organized around:

• Historic race cars
• Endurance racing
• Sports cars
• Racing liveries
• Automotive manufacturers
• Specific racing eras
• Road cars related to famous competition models

The compact scale makes it possible to display multiple racing cars together, creating a miniature motorsport grid or historical timeline.

Collectors interested in a wider selection of racing subjects can also browse DMW's Racing Models and Formula 1 categories.

Majorette Emergency Vehicles

Majorette's product range extends beyond ordinary passenger cars. Emergency vehicles are an established part of the brand's portfolio, with the company specifically highlighting emergency vehicles alongside cars, racing models, construction vehicles, and other subjects.

This makes Majorette useful for collectors interested in:

• Police vehicles
• Fire and rescue vehicles
• Ambulances
• Service vehicles
• Utility vehicles
• Other emergency-response subjects

Emergency vehicles can also be combined with larger displays featuring police stations, fire stations, city streets, or transportation scenes.

For additional emergency and law-enforcement models, explore DMW's Police & Law Enforcement and Fire & Rescue categories.

Majorette Construction Vehicles and Trucks

Majorette also produces construction vehicles and other utility-focused models, expanding the brand beyond conventional cars. The official Majorette portfolio includes construction vehicles as well as monster trucks and other specialty vehicles.

Construction and utility models can be collected independently or incorporated into larger 1:64 city and industrial displays.

Collectors who enjoy commercial and heavy vehicles can combine Majorette models with products from other manufacturers in categories such as construction, delivery, waste management, and transportation.

Majorette Monster Trucks

Monster trucks provide another direction within the Majorette range. These models take the basic small-scale vehicle concept and apply it to oversized tires, raised suspensions, and aggressive off-road styling.

Monster-truck collecting can be particularly enjoyable for collectors who want variety within a 1:64 display. The larger proportions of the tires and bodywork make these models visually distinct from standard passenger cars.

For additional off-road subjects, visit DMW's Off-Road, SUV & 4x4 Vehicles category.

Majorette Collecting by Theme

Because Majorette offers such a broad range of subjects, collectors can approach the brand in several different ways.

Collect by Scale

Most current Majorette collector-oriented cars are 1:64 scale, making the brand an easy fit for collections built around compact diecast vehicles. Some series and products may use different formats, so always check the product specifications.

Collect by Manufacturer

A manufacturer-focused collection can include Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, and other licensed brands represented by Majorette. Current Collection examples include the Chevrolet Bel Air, Shelby GT350, Ford GT40, and Toyota Supra.

Collect by Era

Majorette's Collection line is particularly suitable for chronological collecting. Placing a 1950s classic next to a 1960s muscle car, 1980s vehicle, and 1990s Japanese performance car creates a compact history of automotive design.

Collect by Vehicle Type

You can also build a collection around:

• Classic cars
• Sports cars
• Racing cars
• Muscle cars
• Japanese cars
• European cars
• American cars
• Emergency vehicles
• Construction vehicles
• Monster trucks
• Commercial vehicles

Why 1:64 Scale Works for Collectors

The popularity of 1:64 scale comes partly from its practical size. A collector can display dozens of vehicles in the space required for a much smaller number of larger models.

This makes Majorette particularly useful for themed displays. For example, a collector could create separate sections for classic cars, Japanese performance cars, European cars, racing vehicles, and emergency vehicles while maintaining a consistent scale.

The smaller format also makes it easier to compare different vehicle types side by side. A compact sports car, full-size American sedan, pickup truck, and emergency vehicle can all be represented in the same display while retaining their relative proportions.

Displaying Majorette Diecast Models

Majorette's compact size makes the models suitable for a variety of display approaches. Standard models can be arranged on shelves, display cases, wall-mounted displays, or custom dioramas. Premium Collection models that include display cases can also be displayed individually.

For collectors building a larger 1:64 collection, organization can make a significant difference. Consider arranging vehicles by:

• Manufacturer
• Model
• Decade
• Vehicle type
• Country
• Racing series
• Collection series
• Color

Collectors who want to expand their display can browse DMW's Displays & Accessories category for cases, stands, dioramas, and other products.

Majorette for New and Experienced Collectors

Majorette's combination of accessible 1:64 vehicles, licensed automotive subjects, long brand history, and collector-focused releases makes it suitable for different levels of collecting.

New collectors can begin with individual vehicles representing favorite cars or manufacturers. More experienced collectors can concentrate on completing a particular series, finding specific variations, collecting historic models, or creating a display organized around an automotive theme.

The brand's history also adds another dimension to collecting. A modern Majorette model represents more than a miniature vehicle—it is part of a French diecast tradition that began in the 1960s and continues under the Simba Dickie Group today.
