DUBRO

Dubro also made a line of clear bodies, but while some were quite nice, they never achieved the quality of Lancer’s. Major slot racing companies, such as Revell, MPC and Monogram, also made bodies. MPC’s were just nice, Monogram well made but very plain, Revell excellent but limited in scope. Later offerings in Revell’s 1966 catalogue included four NASCAR stockers and a Lotus 38 Indy car but were never issued, and exist today only as prototypes.
Earlier Companies such as Shark, Auto-Hobbies, Petite GP, International, K&B Autorama and Stormer produced lesser quality items and were swallowed early in the boom years. Some of them survived producing other components, others just went away…
Long a pariah of the collector’s world, clear plastic bodies and vac-bodied cars are coming back in force, now that collectors have realized the inherent beauty behind some of them, going ways beyond the rigid aspect of injection-molded high production models. Certain Russkit, Pactra, BZ or Testor cars have a much greater “aura” than the best of the injected models, except perhaps for Cox’s magnificent cars. Prices are certainly reflecting this trend. But to retain high value, condition is primordial.

My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era.  The items I am listing are in most cases, near new or gently used.  I have taken many pictures to show every angle and have tried to describe all features and/or flaws to the best of my ability.  Please email with any questions specific to something I may have missed.
