Things that turn up during a move!

If anything is fun about moving, it's turning up all your old treasures.  This 1:24 scale Dodge was commissioned to celebrate Chicagoland Speedway.  It's pretty cool looking . . .

Photo: M3 Diecast - Dodge Charger

This 1971 Dodge Charger is a good looking 1:64-scale diecast car from M3.  The great thing about 1:64 scale cars is that you can fit a ton of them in storage space that would only hold a few 1:18 scale cars.

Diecast Ferrari F50

A Goodwill Thrift Store offered this combination of speed, power, and Italian design for only $7.  That's a hefty savings over the regular price of a Ferrari F50.


The Ferrari F50 is powered by a 4.7 liter V-12 engine that develops 512 horsepower.  It gets 7 miles per gallon in the city and 10 miles per gallon the highway.

M2 Diecast 1957 Chevy Bel Air

Here is a 1/64 scale diecast 1957 Chevy Bel Air from M2!  It's done up in the grandest of patriotic styles.  All it needs is a teeny tiny parade!

A Hot Wheels Chevy Nomad wagon wandering . . .

Here is my Hot Wheels Chevy Nomad wagon wandering through St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge.  I like the palms and pines reflected in the windshield!

Swamp Thing (Volkswagen Type 181 'Thing')

The Volkswagen Thing began life as a military vehicle.  Here is my Matchbox Version traversing the bark and lichen in our local swamp.
