A Carmen Ghia kit….most of it. Missing one seat and some parts painted or assembled. This is one of those pia to assemble 3=5 piece bodies by Revell. They were great at ships, planes, tanks, etc., but there were terrible with car kits. I’ve seen many half built older Revell car kits probably because the modeler got disgusted with trying to make that miserable body look decent. Neat box art though.

A couple of “foreign” made toys. A Londontoy Hurricane made in Canada. First one I’ve seen. Also, didn’t know that the later Lionel Company contracted their HO bodies to Canada.

Feeling very lucky. A buddy calls me up and says he’s got a mid-life crisis car with my name written all over it. I said I wasn’t interested because I’ve had too many MLCs already. He wouldn’t take No for an answer. 1988 with just under a hundred thou. I need some $300 shades!!!View attachment 1053137

Got these cool cast iron Michelin man bookends. They stand about 6” tall. Very little info about these in googleland. Anybody know about them? Also i got a 69 Fastback minus the front wheel. Local pickup on fleabay and am picking it up in a few hours.

From everything I’ve learned about these cast iron Michelin guys, they are repops in almost every case. The original counter top piece with this design (no bookend) was made of papier-mâché. There’s a cast iron man in a different design that was made for mounting on an air pump, but what I know says these bookends are cool repro pieces. Still neat on either end of muscle car magazines or old repair manuals. There’s a good thread on the old gas forum.

No worries...just an unprofessional seller. When they cancelled the transaction and returned my money, I wondered why, but they were not up front enough to tell me that they sold it elsewhere.

Scott, I'm sure you've seen it all. From nuts to flakes, just like a breakfast cereal.

This is pretty amazing. 1941? I think the stem might be later, but looks near perfect original. We need words.
