These die cast model kits are identical to the earlier Hubley models. I purchased my first Hubley Roadster kit in 1962 - painting it with the same paint that we used on my 1929 “A” Roadster.
Absolutely identical to the Hubley kits I had to find out why. Hubley was purchased by toy maker Gabriel about 1969 who continued to make these kits through the 1970s, and up until about 1980. Gradually, the Hubley name was downplayed in favor of Gabriel. I have a few of the Gabriel kits, and only the name on the box is different.
Around 1980, Hubley was acquired by CBS Toys which later sold many dies to Ertl and Scale Models, both of Dyersville, Iowa. Ertl has now stopped production of all of the original toy dies and molds purchased from Hubley. As a result, all remaining Hubley/Ertl metal kits are getting harder to find unmade and in the box. The kits that I have here were made by and boxed by Scale Models of Dyersville, Iowa.

1929 Station Wagon
