Welcome to the Junkyard!

Junkyard Model Cars began in 2017 following over 60 years of modeling experience and a life-long love of junked vehicles. The perfect multi-step rusting process creates a unique and life-like appearance for one-of-a-kind rusted diecast models that cannot be duplicated simply with paint. The result has been museum quality cars and trucks that fascinate people of all ages.

Real rust, created in a multi-step process, sets Junkyard Model Cars apart as the premium source for your diecast model collection. Each car or truck is carefully and individually hand-detailed in the Midwest USA by a professional modeler.  Don’t be fooled by others that simply (and cheaply) line up broken toys and bulk spray on rust colored paint.  You can see the difference!

Junkyard Model Cars can be found in major collections across the world.

These rusted barn find model cars are on display in dealerships, museums, restaurants, automotive related businesses, and even a tattoo parlor.

    "Well done. Wow! This model is a work of art. It looks like it came out of an old pole shed, down to the finest detail. Shipped fast and well packed, too. A great Christmas gift for my Dad, the guy who is impossible to shop for. Many thanks, Chris"
