Default My Model Car Collection (Just for you Space)

Well we did a big thing about "Are you a Car Collector", and after listing my cars, space asked many questions, 1 of which was "can you show us a picture of your favorite car" okay space, just for you. heres some pictures of some of my favorite cars.

First off, some 1:18's, a 1972 Chevy Chevelle SS454 Convertible that I picked up on the 15th of September that became an instant favorite. The red paint job with white stripes and white interior was striking, and it was the only one of the many at Sams Club like it. The best $11 I've spent in a while. The pictures of this one don't do it justice, the white interior just doesn't take too well in pictures apparently.



Next is my 1:181969 Ford Torino Talladega Special. It was the first car in my 1:18 collection, a beautiful piece that will always appeal to me.




This was the first Chevy to go into my collection. A beautiful 1:18 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 327 Fuel Injected. This one's pictures came out dark, no other car did (spooky).



Next is my 1:24 1971 Dodge Challenger.

And this is my 1:24 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit)


The last of the individual car pictures is a car that made history, a 1:24 1970 Plymouth Superbird.



Here is a picture of my room. The biggest cars in this picture are on the top of the entertainment center and the shelves, they are 1:24's. There are some smaller ones on the stereo.


Here is a picture of my curio. All cars in this are 1:18's. No space, I did not ask Dusty the Tabby to pose at hte bottom of the picture.


And finally, here is a close up of the top of the curio. It is my gas station set up. The picture didn't take well ,but its a very nice '60's looking set up.

Nice collection there, Duane.

I never had the patience to do those with any sort of accuracy...

Can't do really fine work with my hands... but yet I fix computers... lmao.
