What is a Die-Cast Car?
One of the most popular items in the world of toys and collectibles is the die-cast car, which is a scale model of a real or fantasy car that has been manufactured by the die-casting method and is usually made from metal, plastic or a combination of both. The metal that a die-cast car is comprised of is usually an alloy of zinc and aluminum, known as zamak, which is a cheap metal to produce and is also easy to work with. A die-cast car can be a crude copy of an actual car, while others are very detailed replicas that copy tiny details such as engines or moving parts, like doors or wheels, of their real counterparts.
