I'm a big fan of AutoArt diecast models and used to have an AutoArt model of a 350Z on my desk when I used to own a Z.
AutoArt doesn't seem to sell a diecast model of the 7th generation Maxima (just the 350/370Z and GTR).

Has anyone ever seen a diecast model of our Maxima?

 

I haven't seen them in the states but I'm willing to bet they have them in Japan. One of my last assignments in the Army sent me to Japan for a few days in 2005 enroute to East Timor. I visited a Nissan dealer and saw a collection of 4th and 5th Gen models they had for sale. I work for the Army still in housing and I actually have a friend in Japan right now. I think I'll shoot him a quick email.

 

Thanks! I found this site on the internet that had Nissan diecasts-- even for the Leaf, Juke, Murano, Pathfinder but nothing that looked like out 7th generation Maxima.

do a search on e bay for tena,cefiro,fuga this is what maxima are called in japan also check out [takara tony tomica] cast model cars

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

JRod, my friend in Japan said that the model that looks the most like the U.S. Maxima is the Nissan Teana. I have an SV and apparently they have one that has the dual panel roof as well.

The only problems were that the ones he saw at the dealership were all righthand drive models and the hoods didn't open. He also said they were expensive at about $120 U.S. I'm going to do an internet search and hopefully I can find one at a better price.

 

Thanks. I found a Teana diecast on Ebay but it was $140 and coming all the way from Asia. I'd consider paying it if it was EXACTLY the 7th generation Maxima that we drive-- instead of just looking close. I've found diecasts of the Leaf, Murano, Pathfinder, 350/370z & the GTR but no Maxima-- are you kidding me?? LOL
