Texaco

One of the new pics I added this week is this very nice Matchbox 1939 Chevy Panel Van from 2001.    It reminds me of a college summer when I worked at a Texaco truck stop.  I never got to drive one of those... or anything for that matter.  

I got to clean bathrooms and showers on a regular basis though. Yep showers.  Every time a trucker rented a shower you had to go in and clean it up for the next guy.  Much summer fun was had chasing random body hairs down the walls to the drain with a carefully aimed shower head so you wouldn't have to get near it.  It was much like today's video games. Well anyhow, enjoy the pictures.

Here are some random cars that are waiting to be assimilated into the Museum. Apparently some of them stopped for pizza, including Wolverine and Spider-man...

Holy Matchbox, Batman

I must be slipping.  I had no idea that Matchbox was producing a Batmobile this year until I found it at Walmart last week.  Sneaky Ol' Batman, but I love finding Batmobiles.  Enjoy.

Finally!

I have been wanting a 1/64 scale model of the 1963 Chrysler Turbine car for some time.  The only model I knew of was one from NewRay and it is 1/48 scale which doesn't count. So Finally Hot Wheels produced one this year.  Yay! Thanks guys.  When I found it, I screamed like a little girl and ran out of the store. After the trial for theft, I bought it.  

If you don't know about this one look it up.  It was designed by Ghia and it ran on a gas turbine engine that could burn about any type of fuel you wanted.  Talk about flex fuel.  Here's a couple of links if you wanna read more about it.

and Here.

The first page has a link to a video showing the destruction of most of the models after the trial.  It is painful to watch.

Have Fun!

Monte Carlo

Here's a random pic of a couple of Monte Carlos I had hanging out on my desk.  

They'll go up in the Monte Carlo section eventually.  Visit the Facebook page for a Fangula in white.

Enjoy and Thanks for all the visits!

Lledo Tanker

Oops, time flies and I've done two updates on Facebook and nothing on this blog. But I've got a question.
Does anybody know what Make and Model this Lledo Tanker represents?  They don't do generic castings so its gotta be something.  If you know, let me know. If you don't, then enjoy the picture. :)
