I managed to dig a box of my 1/24 Danbury Mint die-casts out of the cupboard today & photographed a few.
I know they are not of a vintage manufacture date, but each one would be a collectible car today.
Anyway, here's some I shot today.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette




1969 Charger



1960 Impala Convertible



1957 Chevy Pro-Street

Actually, that's the beauty of mobile phones - you just have to make sure you can see the viewfinder, plus there's no need to worry about wasting film.

I've been loyal to my SLR for many years but I feel I must soon make the transition to digital, if only to save time & money.


I'll see if I can't get some more pics today.

Nice collections and cool pics! Cool
I only have 6 of the 1/24 Danbury cars but over 50 of the 1/18 scale die-cast models of various brands.

Well, the Edsel is actually Franklin Mint.

Which Danbury editions do you have, Stu?

Very nice collection, and photos well done! I thought you all may also enjoy seeing a miniature
drive-in theater I built with those tiny "Micro-Machines". If you`ve never seen them, they are
about an inch long. The drive-in speaker posts are straight pins from the missus` sewing box!
