Johnny Lightning
Many JL cars are undersize. The following are
not undersize.
JL has produced MANY vehicles that I have not seen, some of them might be correctly scaled.
Please provide information on any other JL vehicles.

Ertl

|
| 1950's Chev grain truck (undersize - should be same size as Hartoy 1948 Ford) | The cab on this truck is the same size as the ERTL pickup cab. | |
| 1930's Dick Tracy set (sizes vary)
I read that these cars were created for the movie using parts from several cars so that the cars would not be a replica of any real car, and therefore would not be subject to royalties. |
The Scenery Unlimited catalog identifies these as 1937 Plymouth, 1939 Chevrolet, 1936 Ford 5-window coupe, 1936 Ford Fordor. | |
| Thomas the Tank auto
(repaint of a Dick Tracy coupe) |
