Callaway Diecast Model Cars

Callaway has focus, vision and a dedicated base of enthusiasts who watch the company's every move with awe and admiration. The prestigious company had modest beginnings in the garage of Reeves Callaway in Old Lyme, Connecticut in 1977. There, he modified and engineered power- cars such as BMWs and Alfa Romeos. So stunning were his results that, in partnership with GM, the Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette was brought to market.

Only select owners would to claim these specialized cars. The company produced just 500 of the B2Ks between 1987 and 1991, and each car received individual attention to production details. According to reviews, the Callaway Corvette was the only model to retain tremendous power (345 hp and 465 lb.-ft torque) while remaining within federal emission guidelines. Of course, it was also beautiful: deliciously sleek and jewel-like in its appearance.

Over the years of production, the Callaway Corvette evolved with new options, materials and technology. In 1992, GM made changes and Callaway followed suit with its new Supernatural series. The company began to offer more options and the ability to really personalize. It also continued to "up" the horsepower capacity. Callaway broadened its palette to include other models such as Camero and Impala. Individuals could order directly from the company in Old Lyme or from authorized dealers.
