Monopoly Cars

 

When you think of Monopoly cars there are two cars that come to mind. First the iconic car token which is still somewhat of a mystery. Researchers believe it is either a 1934 Mercedes Grand Prix W25, a 1928 Harley JDH Midget Car or a 1940s Kurtis Kraft Midget Car. Habro describes it as a 1930's roadster, however it looks nothing like it. 

We do have a car on the game board located on the Free Parking space, but the model is also a mystery. 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Johnny Lightening has a whole line of model cars with a Monopoly Theme. The best listing I could find of these cars comes from PlanetSwift.com and features 34 little die cast cars. Luckily Johnny Lightening is still producing Monopoly cars today, with the most recent additions beings a 2022 and 2023 model. These cars also come with a little diecast token to use when playing Monopoly.

In addition to these small 1/64 scale models, Johhny Lightning also released several larger 1/18 scale models and 1/25 snap it builders kits. More information can be found on the Round2Corp website.
