While I've done nothing with the blog in years, I still have http://overloadedqueue.blogspot.com/2008/04/vroom.html where I did a side-by-side with spokesminis and one of the previously mentioned 1/50 scale Hot Wheels cars. FYI, the relevant lines I've purchased my collection from are:

HIN D-Force (Hot Import Nights: a little pricey now)
Dropstars (they did this line in a bunch of scales; you want the packaging that looks like https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-DROPSTARS-Cadillac-Escalade/382036226387)
Custom Classics
G-Machines
VW

The last run of 1/50s they did had some great stuff in it, but it's a bit difficult to track down specifically as it didn't have its own series name. They're the ones with the packaging like https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-1-50-Scale-70-Ford-Mustang-Blue-White-Ford-Racing-Custom-TH/253292239757

Siku also had some terrific 1/50 SMART cars.

Good hunting!

Good luck!

More excellent resources. Thank you both for chipping in. The good news is that there seem to be a number of options, car-wise, for the scale. Now to get shopping!

Interesting, Scurv. I had thought they would look too dated, but shall nip over to have a look. Thanks!
