Coming Soon from GMP
Nov 6, 2007 - 11:20:46 AM
Built in 1964 by legendary engine builder Keith Black, painted blue metallic by Joe Anderson, it debuted at the famous Lion's Drag Strip with Leong at the wheel. After crashing on his first pass, Don Prudhomme was brought on the team as the new driver. Leong and Prudhomme won the NHRA Winternationals in 1965, and went on tour winning almost every race they entered, including important wins at Pomona and Indy. The following year, Mike Snively drove the Hawaiian to victory AGAIN at Pomona and Indy.... two of the biggest races of the year, won two years in a row by two different drivers... a record yet to be duplicated!

Die-Cast Promotions 105th anniversary Harley Davidson
Nov 7, 2007 - 11:52:20 PM
In 1901, 21 year-old William S. Harley drew up a blueprint of a single-cylinder engine designed to fit into a bicycle frame. For the next two years Harley and boyhood friend Arthur Davidson labored in a crude 10 x 15-foot wooden shed in the Davidson backyard, with the words HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY scrawled on the door. In 1903 the first production Harley-Davidson motorcycles debuted, and in a few short years that backyard shed would be left behind, as the Harley-Davidson Motor Company would grow beyond the founders' dreams.

Today, that humble backyard shed is long gone, but the dream remains. Built as a racer, evolving into a workingman's mode of transport, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle has become an American icon, 105 years strong. In 2008, Harley-Davidson will celebrate their 105th anniversary; this high-quality die-cast metal collectible is a 1:12 scale replica of limited-edition motorcycles Harley-Davidson will produce in honor of this milestone. Often imitated, never quite duplicated, always admired, ever timeless: Harley-Davidson.
