Goodness knows how often over the years I've mentioned the lack of 1940s automobiles, so one of my few and pleasant surprises is this old Caddy.

Jada started off with a BANG, and quickly fizzled. To this day I get the impression they don't really know what they want to be in the diecast world.

I'm probably a bit more forgiving than many when it comes to size / scale, if the model is of a car not generally covered I can be flexible within a range of about 1/72 to 1/55, give or take. So many of Jada's models over the years have been at the upper end of that range - I don't know if they coordinate with Siku in that regard, but both makers seem to like to make somewhat larger models than most billed as 1/64. The thing is, Jada isn't consistent even in that regard, they sneak in a lot of models that are genuinely closer to 1/64, but it is a case by case basis, the models may be anywhere within a range.

The Road Rats series was an early series Jada issued, and are some of my favorites, that is where this model comes from.

Now that Jada is merged with Dickie Toys, we are beginning to see Majorette models here stateside sold as Jada. I am hoping this will be a good thing, and finally give Jada a rudder to steer by.
