Corgi Model Car
Corgi Toys was launched in 1956 as a new range of diecast toy model cars by Mettoy Playcraft LTD, the toy car company founded in 1936. These new Corgi Models Cars soon became a huge hit because at the time they were the only toy cars on the market that included transparent plastic windows, they soon became known as the ones with the windows.
Many of the collectible model cars represented on our website are sourced through the eBay shopping system. We chose eBay to source our models due to the wide selection
of model cars available, as well as the buyer protections and security through the eBay system.

The popularity of diecast toys as collectibles developed in the 1950s, as their detail and quality increased.
Consequently, more companies entered the field, including the Corgi brand, produced by Mettoy, which appeared in 1956 and pioneered the use of interiors and clear plastic windows in their models
