Any tuners out there collect any of the current batch of "Matchbox"-like collectable die-cast "tuner" cars, such as Muscle Machines Import Tuner Cars, Metal Maxx Street Machines or Modifiers?

What do you think of these things? What if the Polk Audio logo appeared on them? Any opinions?

    I have an extensive vintage collection, 1950's - 70's. I would however be VERY interested in anything Polk.

    Cool item, cool idea.

    Any more details you care to share?

    Cheers,

    I buy one if it were a repro of one of your Polk show cars. I can't stand the Muscle Machines. I have a fairly large collection of 1:18 scale models of mostly 60 and 70s musclecars and vintage race cars with some earlier stuff thrown in. Just a few late model versions but one with the Polk logo would be cool.

    i think it would look good -- just do it on a car that looks appropriate -- dont stick it on something that resembles big foot, because it just doesn't quite fit right...

    also -- the old polk audio logo is semi-more illustrious, and you might consider using that one.

    whatever you do -- just don't go slapping "momo" allover everything -- they've got enough exposure "polk audio" / "polk audio: the speaker specialists" would look much nicer.
