Does General Motors Coach Division count? I like Corgi's die cast vehicles and they did a great job of Greyhound's Scenicruiser from 1961. She's a BEAUTY Vern!! Gary. Thank you, Gary. I rode on several of these as a teen. My last trip on one was from Travis AFB to San Francisco International Airport on my way to Navy AOCS, Pensacola, Florida. So I guess this bus brings back a lot of memories.

The other car I love is the Chevrolet Bel Air. We had a '59 Bel Air when I was young and I've always thought the Bel Air was one of the best looking cars ever.
And here are 4 of them on an auto carrier
Some day I'll find a blue '59 Bel Air for the layout.

These are terrific models, Joe. Thanks Brian. MTH uses Ertl autos on their car carriers. It's kind of odd that MTH chose to put 2 1953 Caddys and 2 1949 Fords on the auto loader but they are cool cars.

Wow Joe, that's quite a collection of Caddys you have! They look terrific and thank you for showing us. Incidentally, our family car was a '57 Chevy Bel Air in the late 1950s. I'm looking for one in a light blue finish.

Then there's always this 41 Lincoln Continental which comes to town every once in awhile. Though we have a tough cop in town, Parker, some say he come to town every once in awhile to see the "old Place". Some say, he owns the "Top Hat Strip Club", but records show it belongs to a JB Smith who resides in Havana. Its a know fact during prohibition, the Island warehouse was were Capone kept much of his bootleg.

Very interesting model, Walter. There was a Brooklin model of this car that sold this week.

Josef, are you sure that's Parker? It looks an awful lot like Don Corleone. I wouldn't mess with him.

I just have my Volkswagen Beetles so far. I have a number of 1/50 scale fire trucks, mostly British and German made by Corgi and Siku as well as a few lesser known makers. I like the Corgi bus models. I had a Public Service of NJ for a while but gave it to a friend of mine who collected bus memorabilia... Tom
