Three new ACME collectibles have arrived with two very different stories. A1807717R66 celebrates the 100th anniversary of Route 66 with a highly detailed 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K/5. A1805631 transforms the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30 into a blown “W-Machine” drag car limited to only 300 pieces worldwide. A1805631E completes the second display with a separate, wired and plumbed 455 engine and transmission replica.
For American diecast collectors, the appeal is broader than paint color or scale. One model represents the open-road identity of the United States; the other captures the spectacle of classic American drag racing. Both deliver the opening features, mechanical detail and substantial 1:18 presence that ACME collectors expect.
A1807717R66: 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K/5 Route 66 Centennial Edition
Route 66 officially reaches its centennial in 2026. Established in 1926, the highway became inseparable from American travel, roadside culture and the idea of heading west. The official Route 66 Centennial Commission describes the anniversary as a national effort to honor the road’s history and the communities that continue to live and work along it.
ACME’s 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K/5 Route 66 100th Anniversary model is well matched to that story. The first-generation Blazer’s upright body, removable top and trail-ready character evoke the freedom and practicality associated with long-distance American travel. Green and white paint with black stripes gives the model a period-inspired appearance without turning it into a generic souvenir.
Blazer collector features
- Opening hood, doors and tailgate
- Removable top and tilting passenger seat
- Wired and plumbed engine
- Steerable wheels and real rubber tires
- Detailed interior, chassis and engine compartment
- Diecast metal with selected plastic parts
- Approximately 9.5 × 4.75 × 4 inches
- Officially licensed and true to scale
The removable top is particularly useful for display. With the roof installed, the Blazer reads as a substantial vintage SUV. Remove it and the interior becomes easier to see, while the tilting passenger seat adds another small storytelling detail. Display it beside classic gas-station accessories, road signs or period American vehicles for a Route 66 scene that feels intentional.

A1805631: Oldsmobile 442 W30 “W-Machine” Drag Outlaws
If the Blazer represents the American highway, the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30 W-Machine Drag Outlaws represents what happens when classic muscle is pushed toward the drag strip. Red paint and white stripes provide the traditional muscle-car foundation, while the exposed blown 455 engine, wheelie bars and drag chute change the model’s entire character.
Only 300 pieces worldwide: A1805631 is the much scarcer of the two complete vehicles, giving exact-SKU collectors and Oldsmobile specialists a compelling reason to act while inventory remains.
Why this Oldsmobile stands out
- Extremely limited production: only 300 pieces worldwide.
- Opening access: hood, doors and trunk all open.
- Drag-specific hardware: wheelie bars and a drag chute immediately separate it from a stock 442.
- Mechanical focus: the highly detailed blown 455 engine dominates the model’s presentation.
- Display flexibility: folding front seats and steerable wheels help create more natural viewing angles.
- Large footprint: approximately 10.5 inches long, 4.5 inches wide and 3 inches high.
The Oldsmobile works best with space around it. Open the hood to expose the supercharged engine, turn the wheels slightly and leave enough room behind the car for the wheelie bars and drag chute to remain visible. A neutral black or gray display base will keep the red and white finish visually dominant.
A1805631E: Matching Blown 455 Engine and Transmission
MATCHING ACCESSORY • 1:18 SCALE
A mechanical display piece of its own
The separate blown 455 engine and transmission replica is wired and plumbed for a more realistic appearance. It can be displayed beside the W-Machine as a spare race engine, placed on a workshop-style base, or added to a larger 1:18 garage diorama.
Important: A1805631E includes the engine and transmission replica only. The complete Oldsmobile car is not included.

Which One Should You Buy?
Choose the Blazer if Route 66, vintage SUVs or road-trip Americana define your collection. Its removable roof and opening tailgate give it the most lifestyle-oriented display potential.
Choose the Oldsmobile if production rarity matters most. The 300-piece worldwide edition, blown engine and dedicated drag equipment make it the most aggressive and scarce complete model in this group.
Add the engine replica if you already want the Oldsmobile or maintain a 1:18 garage display. It is most effective as a companion piece, but the mechanical detail also allows it to work independently.
