1:87 scale pewter or white metal cars & trucks. Made in USA. Precursor to Motor City. Alloy Forms was owned by Alan Novak.
They made a 1949 DeSoto 4 dr as a kit in HO scale and then in 1/43 scale. The pattern for the model has been credited to a Banthrico 1:25 scale slushcast promotional model. I have seen the promo next to both the 1:43rd and 1:87th models and the resemblance is unmistakeable. A somewhat crude replica... Motor City 25 years or so later created a beautiful 1949 DeSoto using an entirely new pattern. - Randall Olson
