Maybe you've had them in the past. Maybe you still do. Maybe you like this.

I have a Dodge Charger of that model/vintage, but not that color ... mine is the maroonish/red.

I've also seen that Hazzard County pickup, but have yet to find it in stores.

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what my wife thinks mine should be....!

[Oguerrerob]

I guess so!

They're an investment, everyone knows that! Well every wife/girlfriend/partner thinks that, because we told them so.

My collection is far smaller than that - my daughter (my entire family) is terrified about having to sell or dispose of it when I shuffle off this mortal coil. I've had to leave her a notebook with details of purchase price and likelihood of sale price. The books could be a problem too - how the heck do you post Wimpffen's "Time and two seats" or a 2-volume Beaulieu Encyclopedia?

Add to that 45 years of Motor Sport and every copy of Classic & Sports Car since it started. They'll have to go to the recycling dump I fear.

I reckon our collections are grounds for divorce........

My wife and my daughter thought that the car collection were cool. But I was forced to move to Europe and I sent the car collection and my books to USA (my sister's house) as she compromised to sell the 28 boxes of cars and 14 boxes of books. Now, I don't know exactly where the cars nor the books are.

Some of them

Very nice!
Shame to have to part with them..

My Dinkys from the 1940s/50/60s - small, but beautifully formed. (Excuse the Atlas Editions interlopers, but they're a lot cheaper than French Dinkys of that era.)

[Carnut]

Lovely.  I have some Atlas Editions ones as well.  I'm not bothered that they are replicas; they're great subjects and that's what I like.  Their value is irrelevant to me!

All the cars were safe inside boxes in a warehouse for all this time. Now they have to be for sale.  If someone is interested please PM for more info. I also have 14 boxes of car books, some rare.

Thanks. Oscar Guerrero
