Many people don't know that the first die cast cars were manufactured in the early 1900's and were all cast one piece metal and painted (thus the name die cast). The earlier models were not as detailed as today , actually they didn't even have any interiors and their quality was low . It was only later , that die cast cars became popular and their demand grew . More and more companies started manufacturing these miniature models (mainly in the United States and United Kingdom) that range from 1:87 ( these are the smallest cars available) to 1:18 (the largest models that are usually 7-9 inches long) .
Later in the late 1960's Mattel , the manufacturer of Disney Cars Toys entered the arena with the Hot wheels series which was manufactured to approximetly 1:64 scale. Today there are around 10 thousnad die cast cars from these series. in 2000 , the highest price of $72,000 was paid for a Volkswagen Beach Bomb that was manufactured in 1969 along with additional 24 cars.
Disney cars diecast are sold today starting from $2.99 - this is actually a close price value of the cars manufactured in the past , buying die cast cars in sets can be a good investment and can speed up an newbie collector's road for glory or at least provide a lifetime supply of XMAS gift for the family kids.
