Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: 1:24 Lightning + ToyGrader Acrylic Case
As you might know, there are TWO versions of the 1:24 scale Lightning McQueen & Mater. The “retail” version that everyone else sells has the plastic tires but also this display case – with a clear top for retail display of course.
The Matty version comes with a black plastic base:
But the only covering for it is the red box behind it – not exactly a display showcase … but ToyGrader has stepped up with an acrylic case that drops right on top … and NascarBronco was kind enough to send us some pics of it displayed properly.
A great fit into the grooves and the nice classy rounded corners.
Looks roomy enough for Mater … but I guess NascarBronco will let us know if it works when he gets his 
It looks like once you order one, they will make one special for you.
More pics of the 1:24 Lightning McQueen are HERE.

Wow . .very nice work! Makes me almost wish I bought one of those!!
Met would call that “canon”
Lightning does have it in the film. All the 1/43 McQueens are missing this (i.e. non-canon ???)
(MET: You mean 1:55 Mattel? Yes, missing black strip but I think it’s just hard to try to paint on there for $2.99 (original price) so it would have to be a glued piece – I’m sure the deluxe 1:55 version will have it …).
that looks very nice! now I want one 2!
High praise for nascarFan to use someone elses display, since he makes VERY nice ones himself!!! Well done Toygrader!
Same here — when I first saw these photos, I thought NascarFan made these for Toygrader.
Thanks Guys…….
we are repainting and sorry for the dust…..
SUPER NICE clear case they make…
It fits VERY SNUGGLY…(not as snug a pirate dad)
have to fudge the black base inwards a bit in the center then it slides right down on the edges providing a great seal.
But definitely HUGE HIGH MARKS.
Nice job Toy Grader.
As far as making my own cases, yes I do.

glass is more “old school” for a “museum look”….
No one makes custom glass cases affordably for a 40 inch long Titanic model ship, So in December, 2007 I decided to make my own. Between December 2007 and March 2008, I researched the hobby of glass art, stained glass and leading, UV adhesives and I went to study how some of the glass artists do their work and made my own.
40″ Titanic Case and Base was the first project. 54″ x 16″ x 10″
It took off from there.
18″ Neca Robo Cop movie figure
18″ Neca Terminator movie figure
22″ Neca Alien movie figure

well obviously what is inside those glass cases is awesome, I love some of that stuff. However by looking carefully those glass cases are superb. Great job, and I love how you learnt this yourself.
