It's anywhere from 1981-84

This car looks so boring :D
The 80s and 90s weren't really milestones in automotive design... Just look what they did with the Mustang and Thunderbird in that time...

That car wasn't supposed to be beautiful.)

This was just meant to be a period econobox but isn't the chrome window trim nice? I miss that on today's cars.
(Always felt it gave a car a rich touch.)

Even though it may look like a boring, boxy 1980s economy car, believe it or not, a toy car company called MotorMax released 1:24 and 1:60 scale models of the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant a couple years ago. Here's a 1:60 scale 1982 Dodge Aries I have in my collection:

Ah, the Fresh Cherries lineup by MotorMax. I almost bought the Bobcat once. It was a copper colored '75 model.

They had a few of those, including:

-'75 Mercury Bobcat
-'84 Ford Tempo
-'77 Ford Pinto
-'81 Ford Escort
-'74 AMC Gremlin
-'78 AMC Pacer

But, of course, those were the 1:87th scale versions, which were more affordable.

In my collection too! :beer: Mine is also 1:60, but in silver. Only around £1 and was an irresistible purchase!

Not sure if this will help, since it's the US Ebay, but they have a bunch oh Fresh Cherries here, including some 80's Hondas.

Link to "shop.ebay.com"

It might help, if they have worldwide shipping, though.

Thanks for the link! :king: A lot of nice models there, including a rather tempting set of Gremlins..

Yeah, of the one's I've seen, the '82 Accord (Blue) and the '75 Matador (yellow) seem to catch my eye the most.

I wish they released the '84 Ford Tempo, '81 Escort, and '82 Honda Accord in larger scale models but it doesn't seem MotorMax will ever do so. :(

Agreed. They really should have.

Didn't they also have a Fiero in this die-cast series?

That's some SWEET merchandise he's got there! If I had the money, I'd pick up some of that!

Stationary rear quarter windows means this one is no older than 1982. 1981s had pop out rear quarter windows (because the main rear door windows did not roll down)
