Signature Models 1:18 Scale

1:18 scale Signature Models are among the brand's most substantial collector pieces. At this scale, the larger physical size provides room for exterior styling, interiors, engine compartments, wheels, and other features to be represented with greater visual presence.

The 1:18 range includes unusual and historically important automobiles that can make excellent centerpiece models for a display cabinet.

Examples include:

• Cord 810
• Packard Brewster
• Packard and other luxury automobiles
• Pierce-Arrow
• Chrysler
• Studebaker
• Ford
• Mercedes-Benz

Several Signature Models 1:18 releases feature opening doors, hood and trunk areas, steerable wheels, rubber tires, and detailed interiors and engine compartments, although features vary by individual model. For example, listings for the 1936 Cord 810 describe opening hood, doors and trunk, steerable wheels, rubber tires, and detailed interior, exterior, and engine-compartment features.

Signature Models 1:32 Scale

The 1:32 scale range is another important part of Signature Models. These models offer a useful balance between display size and collecting space, allowing collectors to build a broader historical collection without requiring the shelf space of multiple 1:18 models.

Signature Models 1:32 releases have included an especially diverse selection of:

• Classic American automobiles
• Prewar luxury cars
• Pickup trucks
• Delivery trucks
• Fire engines
• Police and service vehicles
• Military-related vehicles
• Historic commercial vehicles
• European automobiles

Examples include the 1926 Ford Model T Detroit Fire Truck, 1931 Seagrave Fire Engine, 1939 Packard Fire Engine, 1941 GMC Fire Engine, 1949 Ford F-1 Delivery Pickup, and 1956 Ford F-100 pickup with camper.

This combination makes 1:32 particularly useful for collectors building themed displays around vintage transportation, emergency vehicles, commercial vehicles, or American automotive history.

Classic American Cars

Classic American automobiles are one of the strongest themes associated with Signature Models. The brand's catalog includes vehicles from the prewar era through the postwar period, giving collectors an opportunity to explore changing American automotive design.

Signature Models has represented marques including:

Ford

Ford subjects have included the Model T, Model A, F-1 delivery truck, F-100 pickup, and other historic Ford vehicles. These models are particularly appealing to collectors interested in the development of American automobiles and light trucks.

Cadillac

Signature Models has produced historic Cadillac subjects including Fleetwood and Fleetwood Phaeton models. Older catalog listings also show Cadillac models from the 1930s as well as later subjects.

Packard

Packard is another notable part of the range, with models such as the Packard Darrin One Eighty, Packard Brewster, and Packard fire apparatus appearing in Signature Models releases.

Duesenberg, Cord and Auburn

Collectors interested in prewar luxury and performance automobiles will find particularly distinctive subjects in Duesenberg, Cord and Auburn models. The Cord 810, Duesenberg SSJ and Auburn Speedster are examples of vehicles that stand out from more common classic-car subjects.

For more vintage vehicles from other manufacturers, browse the DMW Classic & Vintage Cars category.

Signature Models Fire Engines and Emergency Vehicles

One of the more distinctive aspects of the Signature Models range is its selection of historic fire engines and emergency vehicles.

Examples include:

• 1926 Ford Model T Detroit Fire Truck
• 1928 Studebaker Fire Engine
• 1931 Seagrave Fire Engine
• 1939 Packard Fire Engine
• 1941 GMC Fire Engine
• American LaFrance fire apparatus

These models can be especially appealing to collectors who focus on historic emergency services, municipal vehicles, fire department memorabilia, or vintage American transportation.

Collectors interested in expanding this theme can also explore DMW's Fire & Rescue and Police & Law Enforcement categories.

Historic Trucks, Pickups and Commercial Vehicles

Signature Models also gives collectors an opportunity to explore the history of American working vehicles. The range has included Ford delivery trucks, Model T trucks, F-1 delivery pickups, F-100 pickups, tow trucks, fire apparatus, and other commercial vehicles.

These models can add variety to a collection dominated by passenger cars. A vintage pickup or delivery truck can also work particularly well in a period-correct diorama depicting a garage, dealership, service station, farm, city street, or commercial district.

For additional classic pickups, see Pickup Trucks. For towing and recovery vehicles, explore Tow Trucks.

European and Luxury Automobiles

Although American classics make up a major portion of the Signature Models catalog, the brand has also represented important European vehicles.

Examples include Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Aston Martin, and other European marques. The brand's historical catalog lists vehicles from Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar alongside American manufacturers.

The 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170S Cabriolet, for example, represents the elegant postwar European touring automobile, while older Aston Martin and Jaguar subjects provide a different perspective on historic British automotive design.

Why Collect Signature Models?

Display-Oriented Models

Many Signature Models releases are designed with collectors in mind, with features such as detailed interiors, engine compartments, opening panels, rubber tires, and steerable wheels appearing on selected models. Exact features vary by vehicle.
