If you are searching for ACME 1/18 diecast models in the USA, this new-arrival group offers an unusually focused choice: three Ford GT40 MKII race cars that recreate the complete 1966 Le Mans podium, a limited-edition 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad, and the 2026 Conner Morrell #28M winged sprint car. All five are active Shopify products added between October 11 and October 15, 2026, and every model is linked directly below so U.S. collectors can move from research to the live product page without hunting through the catalog.
This guide is designed to answer the practical questions collectors ask before buying: Which GT40 should you choose? What makes the three-car podium set different from buying one race winner? Which model has the largest footprint? Which piece best suits a classic-American display, and which one adds contemporary oval-track character? It also records each SKU, scale, verified U.S.-market price and the product details published in the store, giving searchers a useful reference rather than a simple list of links.

The 1966 Ford GT40 podium—recreated in 1/18 scale
The centerpiece of this ACME release is not merely another trio of racing models. The three GT40 MKII entries are organized around the complete 1-2-3 result at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. That creates two clear collecting paths. A buyer can select the driver pairing, team or finishing position that matters most, or assemble all three SKUs as a deliberately connected display. Because the models share the same approximate dimensions—9 inches long, 3.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches high—the group can be presented as a visually consistent row.
Each GT40 is an officially licensed diecast replica with selected plastic components. The store descriptions specify opening doors plus front and rear compartments, steerable wheels with rubber tires, and detailed cabin, exterior, engine compartment and chassis. Those shared features make comparisons meaningful: the differences are the car number, team, drivers and podium position, not the basic scale or display footprint. Each also belongs to ACME’s 60th Anniversary of Historic 1-2-3 Finish series.
A display idea for the GT40 trio
Place the three cars left to right as #2, #1 and #5, then label the shelf “1966 Le Mans 1-2-3.” Keep enough clearance to open the doors or compartments only when you are present; for everyday display, closing moving parts reduces exposure to dust and accidental contact. A neutral base lets the liveries and car numbers do the storytelling.
1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad: a limited American classic
LIMITED EDITION OF 958 • SKU A1807009
Red with a cream top, sized to command a shelf
The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad changes the mood of this arrival. Where the GT40s tell a tightly connected motorsport story, the Nomad brings classic American road-car character in red with a cream top. ACME identifies this release as a limited edition of 958 pieces worldwide, making its production number a central part of the buying decision.
The published details list diecast metal construction with selected plastic components, opening hood, doors and tailgate, a detailed engine with plumbing and wiring, steerable wheels with rubber tires, and detailed chassis, cabin and exterior. At approximately 11 inches long, 4 inches wide and 3 inches high, it is the longest model in this five-product group. Plan the display space before purchase, especially if you want room to present the hood or tailgate open.
This is the strongest pick for a collector whose cabinet favors 1950s Chevrolet models, red-and-cream color pairings or limited editions. It can also act as a calmer visual counterpoint beside the more graphics-heavy race cars. The product is supplied new in original unopened packaging, according to its live description.

2026 #28M • SKU A1826026
A different silhouette for a racing collection
The Conner Morrell #28M “Tub O’ Towels” winged sprint car is the most visually distinctive model in this group. Its 2026 identity and winged body form give a U.S. motorsport display a contemporary dirt-track subject, while the sponsor livery supplies a strong focal point. It is a particularly useful addition when a collection already contains road-racing cars and needs a different shape and racing discipline.
The official product description specifies diecast metal construction with selected plastic components, removable wings, a removable hood cowl, rubber tires, steerable wheels, and detailed chassis, cockpit, exterior and engine compartment. Its approximate dimensions are 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 4.5 inches high. Although it is the shortest model here, it is also the tallest, so measure vertical shelf clearance rather than judging space by length alone.
Collectors who enjoy removable components can use the hood cowl and wings for occasional close inspection, then return them to their intended positions for normal display. The model is listed as supplied new in original unopened packaging.

View the #28M sprint carWhich new ACME 1/18 model should you buy?
The best choice depends on the story you want one shelf to tell. Use this short selection guide before opening all five product pages:
For one instantly understood race result
Choose the GT40 MKII #2. It represents the McLaren/Amon winning car and works as a single-model summary of the 1966 Le Mans result.
For a driver-led collection
Choose the #1 Ken Miles / Denny Hulme or the pairing that aligns with your collection. The direct product titles make the drivers easy to identify.
For a complete connected set
Choose all three GT40s. The shared scale, dimensions, anniversary-series identity and linked finishing order make the trio naturally cohesive.
For classic Chevrolet appeal
Choose the 1955 Nomad. Its red-and-cream finish, 11-inch length and limited edition of 958 give it a different presence from the race models.
For modern oval-track variety
Choose the 2026 #28M sprint car. Its removable wings and hood cowl, plus its tall silhouette, bring a new type of motorsport subject to a 1/18 display.
For U.S. buyers comparing budgets, use the verified prices in the table as a starting point, then confirm the live total on the product page and at checkout. Do not choose solely by price: scale is shared, but the display footprint, theme and number of opening or removable elements vary. A measured shelf and a clear collecting goal usually lead to a more satisfying decision than buying the first image that catches your eye.
How to display and care for 1/18 ACME models
One-eighteenth scale rewards space. It allows a model’s cabin, engine area and moving features to be seen more easily than on smaller scales, but it also means shelf depth and height matter. The GT40s are approximately 9 inches long, while the Nomad reaches about 11 inches. The sprint car is approximately 4.5 inches high, which can be the deciding measurement in a cabinet with adjustable shelves.
- Measure twice: Add room around the published dimensions so the model does not sit against a wall, glass panel or neighboring car.
- Group by story: Keep the GT40 trio together as a podium set, or separate the Nomad and sprint car into classic-road and oval-track sections.
- Limit direct light: A stable display area away from strong, sustained sunlight helps reduce unnecessary exposure of paint, graphics and packaging.
- Handle the base, not small parts: Move the model with clean, dry hands and support its main body. Wings, mirrors and other fine elements should not be used as grips.
- Use opening features deliberately: Doors, hoods, compartments, tailgates, wings and cowls are excellent for close viewing. Return them carefully to their normal positions when the inspection is finished.
- Keep packaging organized: Since each product is listed as supplied in original unopened packaging, store boxes in a dry, protected place if you choose to display the model outside them.
A simple shelf label can turn a lineup into a guide for visitors. Include the model name, year, scale and SKU. For the GT40 set, add the finishing position and driver pairing. For the Nomad, note the limited edition of 958. For the sprint car, identify Conner Morrell, #28M and the 2026 “Tub O’ Towels” livery. These are all details verified on the live product pages.
