I’m away from home right now , so no pics but I’ll try to post some soon. Of course, Cadillacs! I have from the 40s and50s plus a1:24 scale Franklin Mint Al Capone ‘30 limo. I’d love to get more but I really have no room and they’re more expensive now

Man that sounds awesome. Yea whenever you get the chance. Too bad can’t see this stuff in person over beers or better yet some cognac.
 
The Cadillac draw, some are Hot Wheels, some are Matchbox.

Watching the NLCS (baseball) and sipping Wild Turkey 101. Looooooong week.

Eldo, I really like the Cadillac wall. It looks damn good.

My dad has a screw in his tire so I’m guessing the two of us will get it patched tomorrow. Can’t take pics of the die cast cars yet…

Wait a minute, you have Kmart in Australia? We don't have any KMarts here in the US anymore, how do you have them there where I never even knew there were any?

Ha ha, I don't think you are missing much! :laughing:

Not that this applies to all K-Mart stores, but the local store where I live is situated in the dirtiest part of time, a lot of loitering by the local bogans, welfare/un-employment abusers and drug addicts. I do my very best to never go near that area, and if I do, I have this sudden desire to wash myself in disinfectant.

We have 2 near us, the nearest has only been there a couple of years, and is in a newish shopping centre, that's a "mall" for our US friends, and the other is older, and sounds a lot like yours Deyon. I've only been to that one once, then they opened the new one, so that's where I go. The customers are similar at both, but security is better at the new one, so there's less trouble.

The one I'm talking about is within a short walking distance from Centrelink, does that paint a picture for you. :laughing:

Eldo, I had a friend that was going to buy a Seville like that...or a boat. I told him to buy the Seville, he bought the boat. He probably used the boat a half dozen times, and spent tons of money docking it, winterizing it, etc. He should have listened to me. Those were cool cars.

Yea those cars were very unique. Growing up there was a man who lived on the corner and had a Seville Elegante in pink & black. He would pull it out for a drive maybe twice per week and I remember always watching that car go in and out of his garage. You could tell that car was well taken care of for sure.

Okay, these are especially for Eldo; my diecast collection

Man that’s cool. I love the cabinet, it’s only right. Why have a nice collection like that if you don’t have a proper way of displaying it.

Where or how did you acquire most of them?

I got the vast majority of them from either BJs Wholesale Club or the now defunct KB Toy Store. Only a few came from online sources

It took years to accumulate the amount I have. New models come out every year.
