Diecast Car question? Im sure some of you here collect Diecast cars. I was wondering wheres a good place to find them locally houston. Im really looking to find me an orange 57 chevy. Im trying to find one so i can reproduce my friends dads old car.

So any 57 would work i can always strip and spray it orange, but it would be easier if i could find one already painted. Then all i have to do is make the vinyl graphics and then apply them.
So if anyone knows of any good diecast places around houston let me know.
Thanks!

I think its Trading Fair II on 610 South and MLK..I think. This guy has a section with lots of tools and die cast cars. He is Hispanic..his name is Noe Mejia..I have bought/ordered a few cars from him in the past. He has a good local connection here in houston with some mystery guy..he never did want to hook me up with his connection. He has good pricing ( makes you a great deals if you buy regularly) on Auto Art...hooks me up with most of my Kyosho's..he has more than a few of Ertl muscle cars. If he gets to know you well...hell even take your checks!! LOL!!
