Retro 1-2-3
I accidentally found the Retro 1 2 3 company while I was looking for something else. I haven't been able to find much information on the company, but it was a modern-era company producing 1:8 scale models of different old trucks,cars, and busses. These models are not toys, but are for people who collect scale models. The Retro 1 2 3 company made limited edition models for the public, usually in 100 or 125 units. The models were solid metal, with hinged doors that would open, and actual steering of the front wheels. The models were made in China.
If you have information, or find more information about the company, please send me the information, so that I can add it to this blog post.

Hi, I have been looking for information also. I own the L.A. Lewis moving truck myself. I would like to sell it but hate shipping large things like that. Larry delawarejunk@yahoo.com
