Playart models were manufactured in Hong Kong from the 1960's through the 1980's , this website concentrates on the 1/64 (approx scale) range of cars , these were many and varied , some were rescaled copies of Matchbox and Corgi vehicles , others were vehicles not modelled in small scale by any other manufacturer.
Playart issued in Japan had a different numbering screen , the models were sold in black boxes, each vehicle had a sticker on the base which matched the box number, as with Matchbox cars of a similar vintage , when a model was retired another took over its number.
