I always loved this action car. Now if only they could reproduce one with the Gilbert coupe and colors. The screw holding the contact in place looks rusty but it may just be solder flax.

Mike,
I too liked these action cars and have a few that I brought back to life from the junk box.
As far as the new ones, I have a couple, the Commemorative Car with an AF tanker, and the one with the red tanker.
I liked the Manoil coupes so much that a few years ago I made a batch out of resin and even tried to sell them at a large S event. I sold two. Either there was no interest, or nobody saw them. I sold a number to Doug Peck of Port Lines Hobbies and he sold them out fast. When he asked for more, the mold ripped and no more could be cast from that particular mold. I have too many other things to do to make another mold, and the few I have left are in my personal collection. Here's what they look like:
