Toys
Having noted the real thing, it is time for toy cars.
Officially-licensed products have long been an attractive proposition for publishers, and one which is largely undocumented. There are a few lists I'm actively maintaining, and attempting to add in dates where I can. Of course, sometimes things find me, rather than me having to go looking for them. I like to think of it as the universe smiling benevolently upon me occasionally. While I wasn't specifically thinking of model cars in terms of comic-books (and wasn't really looking for more work), I happened to notice a few in passing:
