Diecast Hall of Fame Class of 2014 Announced

It’s with great pleasure that the Diecast Hall of Fame announces the inductees of the Class of 2014. On behalf of the Hall of Fame Committee, I would like to thank all the collectors, fans, friends and family members who took the time to nominate candidates for the People’s Choice Award and cast votes for the categories made available on the ballot.

Following the news of Die Cast X Magazine partnering with DiecastSpace to form the DCX SuperConvention, the committee moved to make several changes to the Class of 2014 line-up to make the event even more grand in celebration of the partnership. This included having two a minimum of two inductees per category with a combination of inductees selected by the public along with the inductees who were selected and pre-announced (indicated below) during the closing ceremony of the 2013 SuperConvention.
