Does anyone make 1:48 automobiles or anywhere around that scale? A little smaller would be O.K. I need 1920’s era or earlier. I have been searching for months. Everything I find is way too modern. I need model T’s, etc. I model the roaring 20’s in O scale. Thanks!!![8D]
There are very few true 1/48 scale autos. Most people use 1/43 scale which is a standard diecast scale (and also British O Scale). I have read that some of the cheaper 1/43 cars are not accurately scaled. Often being a little smaller but somtimes slightly larger.
There are trucks in 1/48, 1/50 (probably the most common modern truck scale) and 1/43.
Diecast Direct has one of the largest selections of dicast. Not much listed for 1910’s, 1920’s though.:

You might try building your own from 1/48 scale kits. A well stocked hobby shop should have what you’re looking for on hand, or at least close to it.
Good luck.

Unfortunately not likely. I searched several “well stocked” online shops and found none.
The closet to O scale autos are the thousands of 1/43 diecast and a few hundred 1/43 car kits (most unassembles diecast). There are also a few 1/48 scale military trucks (late 30’s or newer) There appears to be fewer than a dozen pre 1930 cars currently available.
