1/64 scale is one of the most popular scales of diecast cars, for several good reasons. First of all, 1/64 scale cars are small, only about 3 inches long, so you can get a fairly large collection without having to move into a larger house. Secondly, 1/64 scale diecast cars are much cheaper than the larger diecast models, so it’s easy to get a good-sized collection going without breaking the bank! There is also a very broad selection available, ranging from movie cars to race cars to classic cars and muscle cars – there’s literally something for everyone!
