it's a start. now when it takes you half a day to dust them you know your addicted. when you go into you basement and realise that there are new ones still in the box you have not seen in years as you carry your latest one to be put away that you figure you really need help. best to balance out the need with at least 3 1 to1 scale ones in the back yard. we are all a sorry lot are we not. keep it up.:agree:

I was typing the caption for the photo, messed it up, had to redo it and "timed out".
Here goes, the large Cadillac is a Motor City Replicas, the International is a First Gear, the hearse is a Hot Wheels, and the little red and white one is a Tomica (probabably a $3.00 toy, but a helluve little model). The only thing missing is an unbuilt 1/25 scale 1966 Cadillac M&M which is probably going to become a Volunteer model with a lot of hard work, probably some swearing, and who knows what else. My wife assures me it's not missing, just not real sure of it's current location.
I also have an extensive collection of model fire trucks, various other trucks and cars, and a good sized HO scale railroad and equipment.
Nothing better to do on a cold, snowy, dreary, lousy winter day. I know you guys have never heard me say this before, but it's pretty much a tradition with me......."winter can just officially kiss a--".

A couple of nice looking ambulances you have there.
You have one that I have been looking for for a long time. The Tomica in the front left corner. That one is hard to find at a reasonable price. I have looked at many of them on eBay, but just haven't been able to bring myself to pay the prices that they want.
Thanks for sharing your collection with us!
