Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What makes Atlas model cars so special?

Atlas is renowned for its highly detailed 1:43 scale reproductions, particularly their 'Dinky Toys' series, which faithfully reproduces iconic models from the 1950s and 1970s. Each model car includes a detailed historical booklet on the original model.

Why are some Atlas cars sold with their plexiglass enclosure?

The transparent casing protects the model car from dust and UV rays while allowing for optimal display. Atlas uses this system for its premium editions because it preserves the metallic paint and chrome details that can deteriorate over time.

What is special about the wheels on Atlas model cars?

Atlas uses real metal wheels with soft rubber tires, unlike many competitors who use plastic. This technique improves the realism and weight of the model car, providing a more authentic feel in the hand.

How does Atlas reproduce the interiors of its model cars?

Atlas molds each element of the interior separately: seats, dashboard, steering wheel, and even small details like ashtrays. The seats are often covered in genuine textiles that faithfully reproduce period materials.

Why do we sometimes find color variations on the same Atlas model?

Atlas often produces multiple versions of the same model to reflect the different finishes offered by the car manufacturer. For example, a Citroën DS may be available in 'Carrara White', 'Garnet Red', or 'Peacock Blue', each corresponding to an authentic period color.
