Other Divisions

Any racer or rodder will testify to the fact that one of the most expensive and time-consuming facets of any race car or hot rod is the acquisition and/or fabrication of the many small brackets, linkages and fittings needed to complete the project. We asked ourselves what could be done to make this aspect of car construction easier and less expensive. The answer: the Allstar line of hot rod hardware. Represented by its own colorful catalog, the Allstar line has gathered together in one place an outstanding collection of parts and accessories designed to work well, and save the car builder money. Many popular Allstar parts are “one-off” designs not to be found anywhere else. Capably manufactured for us by skilled craftsmen, many of whom are racers themselves, Allstar parts represent a wise investment.

In the early 1990’s, the collectables market exploded. Suddenly, there were more 1/24th and 1/18th scale collectable NASCAR die cast cars on the market than anyone would have ever believed possible. While the die cast market was still relatively “green”, Lane Automotive carefully studied the products available, eventually choosing those they felt were of the highest quality. When the selections were made, the Lane Collectables division became a reality, at both the retail and wholesale levels. It wasn’t long before Lane Collectables established itself as one of the nation’s major distributors of high quality, die cast collectable cars and trucks.

Soon after being founded, Lane Collectables Division began commissioning its own exclusive, limited production collectables called the Exact Detail Series. The first Exact Detail project, based on the 1965-66 Ford Mustang fastback, yielded several stunning replications of the famous Shelby G.T. 350 which were met with a great degree of enthusiasm by discerning die cast collectors everywhere. The second Exact Detail Series entry, the 1967-68 Chevrolet Camaro, has also been warmly received by the collectable community. Several more Exact Detail models are in the works, among them a 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 and a 1967-8 Pontiac Firebird. Still heavily involved in NASCAR collectables, Lane Collectables continues to offer a very well-rounded selection of the most desirable die cast replicas, sure to please even the most serious collector.
