DIE CAST TUESDAY - WEEKLY

The grandkids and I are on a little road trip. They always have a few Hot wheels in their pockets, and so do I. Lol. I took their picture at this satue of liberty before. This time I lined up their Hot Wheels, for a diecast Tuesday photo.

I found these old Hot Wheels and a Tomica Winnebago at a garage sale.Scratched and dirty,they were far from collector grade,so I re painted and polished the Baron and touched up the Winne.Here they are as I got them.

 

...and after!

 

Here's the Deora II made into a flash drive. The original Deora was a 1964 commissioned design by Harry Bentley Bradley, and based around a much-modified Dodge A100. It was unveiled at the Detroit Autorama in 1967... and won lots of awards, including the Ridler. The original car spawned a Hot Wheels release in 1968.

The Deora II went the other way around... it was first designed as a Hot Wheels car, released in 2000. And then in 2003, Chip Foose unveiled a full size Deora II.

 

Good Tues. morn.

 

Very cool 55 car hauler and twin engine dragster combo!

Glad your o.k.. Is that you in the green shirt?

 

Is that a droptop in the ditch????

 

Here are a few of my die cast As you can tell, I tend to favor Buicks

 

Anyone ever restore one of these Hubley 1954 Corvettes? They are about 12" long, and look like there are screws holding them together. Just wondering if they come apart enough to be able to restore them fairly easy?

 

Yeah Deuce, that's what caused the accident. I was passing it in the T roadster, and was in his blind spot. He's in the green shirt. But I didn't make it. Buckey that's a great collection! I like Buicks too. Ron...

 

I have a hard time keeping the grandsons out of them. I had to get them some Buick hot wheels and Johnny Lightning cars to play with. They are old enough now to know mine are off limits to play with and they take really good care of the ones I bought them. The youngest one(3 1/2) even made up a "I luv PawPa's Buicks song". He has me get on eBay to look at toy Buicks and always talks me into ordering one for him. The older ones like to find any kind of Buick toy car to get me for Christmas and my birthday. The 15 year old boy is bugging me to let him drive my 66 Gran Sport, it never ends with these kids but I wouldn't have it any other way!!

I always look for your pictures of your models and toys, we seem to have a lot in common. I didn't take pictures of most of the late 60's and 70's cars to keep the cry babies from reporting me for off topic car pictures.

 

yes the Hubley Corvette should have screws holding it together wheels too!

 

Probably a limited edition!

 

Good Tues. morn.

 

Here's a gas pump I found this weekend. It was only $3 dollars. We did the route 11 yard crawl. Miles of COOL OLD junk. A lot of fun, and a yearly event.

Whaaaaaa? No Tuesday Diecast yet this week? OK, here are a couple of Hot Wheels survivors from the '90s along with my Ace Fastener Corp "Pilot" Model 402 stapler from the '50s. Yes it still works, a lot better than the new plastic crap of today.
