Not got any new ones for xmas but this is my collection of favourites.
As you can tell it's all pre 80's yanks and a fully licensed "Christine" with working lights from the states.
I have about 100 dinky cars wrapped up in boxes in the loft(most in boxes) im hoping to pass on to whatever kids i have when i grow up. :grin:

Also on the shelf at the top is a hood ornament off a 1941 Cadillac the "Flying Goddess" worth an absolute fortune and it was on a 76 caddy conv my old man had and he gave me it a couple of years ago.Hoping to get it rechromed this year.

I also collect american license plates,i have 10-20 in the garage but only a few on display :nerd:

Sorry about dust and crappy iphone pics but i can only just get in my man room for leather interiors at the minute :evil:




With a collection like that, you so need to get some old Redlines in there!

I know but as my current hobby is detailing and I've got a £700 collection of stuff recently I have a feeling the missus would go mental if I got that bug again! Lol  :laugh:

A smooth snatch is worth £110 of any man's money
