Yat Ming (formerly called Yatming), is a die-cast car model maker, much like Matchbox. The company is based in Hong Kong. Yat Ming Industrial Factory Ltd was founded in 1970 by Mr. Wai Ming Lam. Yat in Chinese means "best or number one". The Ming portion came from the founder's "middle name".
The company started out making muscle cars, European sedans, and transport trucks from the USA in the early 1970s. In the mid 1970s, JRI. Inc. (Road Champs) purchased the tractor trailer designs from Yatming and began marketing them under the Road Champs name in the 1980s. In the late 1990s, the company moved towards making more realistic models, and moved away from its toy-maker roots.
FROM YAT MING:
'....For those who are not familiar with our product line, we offer quality diecast toys for school-aged children (our "Road Tough" line), as well as various licensed diecast scale models (our "Road Signature" line) of Ford, General Motors, Chrysler as well as other auto manufacturers. All of our collector's diecast are thoroughly researched for accuracy and authenticity with meticulous attention to detail. This is what our customers have come to accept and deserve. Our goal is to make sure your first Yat Ming scale model is definitely NOT your last, but one of many Yat Ming scale diecast in your collection....'

1955 FORD FAIRLANE CROWN VICTORIA SKYLINER
The first time Ford used the "victoria" as a naming convention was in 1932 on the Ford Victoria 2-door coupe. Ford's 1954 Crestline Skyliner was replaced in 1955 by the Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner, based on the new 1955 Ford design. It shared the flashy chrome "basket handle" which stretched the B-pillar across the roof of the 1955 Crown Victoria model but added a smoked acrylic glass window over the front seat area. It was a interpretation of a horse-drawn carriage bodystyle, called a "victoria". The model, commonly referred to as the "Glasstop Vicky" lasted just two years, with sales slipping sharply as customers realized the trouble of keeping the car cool. An optional snap-in sunshade or air conditioning system were desirable. The Skyliner name was later applied to the Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner hardtop convertible based on the 1957 Ford.

Mechanical device disclaimer: Every mechanical device has a certain life span. The day it leaves the factory, it becomes one day closer to it's end date. When I find these devices, I plug them in, wind them up or put in a battery. If they buzz, whirr or seem like they're doing what they are supposed to be doing, I keep them for auction. At that point in time, I have NO IDEA of how old or how much use they have incurred. They may last a lifetime, or fail the next time they are turned on. Therefore, I sell these as "Decorative or Ornamental purposes" only, not functional. Which may be referred to as "AS IS".
Note: On some items, UPC symbols may have been removed for rebate purposes.
