A fixture of the snack aisle is colliding with a fixture of the die-cast aisle for a sweet crossover collaboration.

Castline’s latest M2 Machines Auto-thentics assortment of 1:64-scale die-cast vehicles is a nine-piece collection that pulls inspiration from the Hostess bakery and its iconic snack cakes and mascots. The new assortment includes six individual castings: a 1949 Mercury Custom (Hostess), 1960 VW Delivery Van (Twinkies), 1964 Ford Econoline Delivery Van (Ding Dongs), 1964 Dodge A100 Panel Van (Apple Fruit Pie), 1967 Chevrolet Nova Gasser (Cherry Fruit Pie), and a 1974 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super 10 pick-up (Cup Cakes). The range includes two chase cars limited to 750 pieces and a super chase limited to 250 pieces.
