Acme: Exclusive Deal with Highway 61

Acme has reached an exclusive deal with Highway 61 to use all their 1:18 molds!  Some improvements will be made, and molds cleaned and formed true.  Expect to see models in early December 2015.  Press release by Acme below.

“We are very excited about this as these are some quality molds that have been dormant for many years but still have plenty of potential.

This is quite an undertaking, considering the number of molds that HWY built, but we are up to the task. To avoid any QC issues, we are opening all the molds one by one and cleaning, restoring, polishing, etc… before we proceed with any production. We will also be making a complete change/upgrade to the packaging. Each release will come branded as an Acme model and will be packaged in a sealed box with a styrofoam clamshell, just like all other Acme models.

Please feel free to submit any ideas and thoughts for cars that you want to see done from these tools. With your input and Acme’s design touch; we know that this will breathe some fresh air into the hobby!

The first mold that we have opened and prepared for production is the 1970-71 Plymouth Cuda. We are pleased to inform you that Supercars will be doing a split color run of Ronnie Sox’s and Buddy Martin’s personal Cuda street cars. These cars will be arriving in early December.”

    Recommendation for HWY 61 Molds – Are you able to use the much more realistic chrome plating like on Ertl “Authentics” and GMP models? I find the “Authentics” to be better detailed and more solidly built at the HWY 61 price point.
