Some 1/18th scale bodies, along with a car hidden under one of them.
Who knows the type and brand of the bodies? And which car could be hidden?

Delta pocket rocket?
Not sure on the bodies but they look great!

Thanks, I also was amazed when I saw the 1/18 package the first time.
The Pocket Rocket is correct, also the Parma Sorbello.
Then there are 3 more bodies. Nobody knows what´s their type or brand?
At least one of them is not really difficult.
The Cheetah could use the same bodies, so someone should have a look at a certain catalogue.

The body (second from the left) looks like a Bolink Cheetah body. I have one painted from the factory purple with a gold stripe. What were they thinking? I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

I would like seeing your factory painted body. Please show pictures.
After that I will post the details for my 1/18 bodies.
If someone have such early 1/18 cars and bodies feel free posting here too.

The bodies are, from left to right:
Parma Sorbello
Parma Lancia Beta, actually Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo
Delta Porsche 935GT
Delta Kroll
In the beginning there were just the Delta bodies, later Parma also started making 1/18 bodies when they released their Cheetah car.

Delta Pocket Rocket right after unpacking some time ago. Actually new never run, but needs some cleaning and removing of old, discoloured servotape. This was the very first 1/18 car back in 1981. Delta even made an electronic speed control for this car.

Very nice! Yet another car I wish I had not let go years ago. I had a large batch of chassis, pods, and front beams. Also lots of wheels but no tires. I can't for the life of me remember who I sold them to
