context_page_description: Eligor is a brand of collector's diecast model cars and trucks mostly made in 1:43 scale. Models have always been made in France, but the company has gone through several ownership changes. Today, though now focusing on model trucks, Eligor is one of the few diecast modelers still making its vehicles in Europe.
context_section_description: Many of the cars offered 20 years ago are still offered today, but new models have also been released, including classic Bugattis and racing Mercedes-Benzes. The focus, however, is still on French Peugeots, Citroens, Renaults and older French makes including the likes of Panhard and Talbot. Eligor offers several variations on the Dacia Logan, which is a Renault made in Romania. New and old models continue to be offered in a variety of detailed liveries. As time has passed Eligor resembles revered (but less sophisticated) Solido and Vitesse less and less and Brumm and Rio Models more and more.
  Into the new millennium, Eligor now offers a complete set of trucks and buses, mostly in 1:64 scale – about 30 different models are available in several hundred different liveries (Eligor Vintage 2003). One emphasis is on racing trucks and racing liveries (Kamaz and Renault) while standard articulated tractor trailer rigs seem a backbone. Mercedes, Freightliner, and Renault vans are also offered.  DAF, MAN, Freightliner, Mercedes, Volvo, Kamaz, Renault, historic Sinpar and Hotchkiss, Iveco, and Scania are all represented. The change from 1930s vehicles to trucks is interesting, but not unprecedented. Model car companies Tekno (from Denmark), and Lion Toys (the Netherlands) also made the transition from car models to exclusively offering trucks.
  In this area, the company has built up its promotional offerings, especially with silk screening on the sides of the trucks – sort of becoming the French Winross.  The Eligor website runs through more than 25 different liveries that have been produced for different (mostly European) companies.
