Automodello

Hello, My name is Jim Cowen and I am the founder of Automodello maker of premium specification, resin cast, hand-built, limited edition models in 1:43, 1:24, 1:12 and Crossovers. I started Automodello because I couldn't find a model of a car that I owned...little did I know that less than four years later we would win Model of the Year (twice), be the Official Model for Amelia Island and Concours d' Elegance of America (twice), and, secured a Ford license to use the Mustang 50 Years logo. It has been an incredibly challenging and fun ride so far. In December Automodello released our first Ford licensed product, the 1962 Ford Mustang I Concept which is also our first Crossover in both 1:43 and 1:24 scale. In March our 2nd release is the 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III in 1:24 which was never a promo-model, never a kit, and never released in a large scale. And we'll announce our 3rd Ford model, the 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7-Liter Hardtop. Automodello as a brand is fueled by enthusiasts and I try to engage clubs around the world each time we select a new model. Many have been Ford-powered hybrids like the Sunbeam Tiger, TVR M-Series, Bricklin SV1, Intermeccanica Italia and Griffith Series 200 to name just a few so far.
