The 71 Cuda is my only surviving plastic model. It was a hardtop model that I removed the roof on. (Nash Bridges inspiration, I know his car wasn't a billboard car. ...or tubbed haha)

Mr Pops · 10-16-2010, 01:43 PM

Slammed Blazer -started out as a 4x4 model like the one next to it.

Mr Pops · 10-16-2010, 01:47 PM

In case anybody noticed a sticker with the wrong year designation in front of a model, it's due to my joker brother in law moving stickers and/or cars around when he visits me to see how long it takes for me to notice.. (I do the same at his house haha)

Mr Pops · 10-16-2010, 02:22 PM

I almost forgot about the ones I snuck into the wifes china cabinet..

Thanks for posting your pics. This thread needs more activity. I’ll be posting some pics of my stuff just so we have something new to look at now and then. You have a lot of nice cars and trucks. No such thing as too many toys!

I’m curious, is the 51 Studebaker from Franklin mint, Maisto, or somebody else?

Thanks for the compliment! I really like that black stepside model you have.
The 51 Stude is RC2 Johnny Lightning #296

I paid more than I usually pay for diecast (since I get a lot at Wal Mart) but I had to buy it since I own a real one! haha. I think I paid around $40+ each for the Blazers. Quality isn't much different than an average Jada Toy product. The grill and tailgate look a little malformed and the side body crease is a little flatter than it should be, but I like them enough that I'm also considering buying the pickup version too.

*87 chevy silverado* · 12-26-2010, 10:42 PM

thank you for the input ive been waiting for someone to have one fond out if there worth it
