About Garage 73
WHO WE ARE
Garage 73 is a Québec-based, Canada-wide online retailer specializing in premium 1:18 and 1:43 scale diecast and resin car models. We are an official AUTOart dealer and authorized carrier for Spark, Minichamps, Kyosho, Norev, TrueScale, and LCD — brands rarely found in Canadian mass retail. Founded and operated by a lifelong automotive enthusiast and vintage racing driver based in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.
We don't just sell model cars — we curate collector pieces. Every model we list is chosen for quality, authenticity, and collector value.
WHY GARAGE 73 EXISTS
Canadian and American collectors shouldn't have to gamble on long waits, sketchy listings, or mass-market selection to find the models that actually matter. Garage 73 exists to offer a curated, collector-focused alternative — with direct sourcing, expert selection, and honest service.
OUR STORY
From walking the halls of the Ferrari Museum in Maranello to racing a 1981 Mazda RX-7 at Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Garage 73 is rooted in real motorsport passion — not just reselling. Our selection reflects decades of hands-on experience with cars, racing, and collecting.
