The models measure approximately 2.5 inches long, .75 inches wide and 1.5 inches high (from the ground to the top of the head light. The model comes attached (screwed) to a platform that is 4 inches by 2 inches. The model could be unattached from its base and be made to stand on its own kick stand, but the base does give the model extra support and the particular model info (model name and year) is printed in the platform. The model itself is made of diecast metal with plastic parts such as the seat, wheels and minor details. The coloring and detail are very impressive for such a small model. One can see the little branding, engines, vents, logos and license plates as well a stop and signal lights. Each model comes in an individual window box that measures 4.5 inches long 2.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches high.
