Q. when you arrange your displays do you set  them out by year or brand ie Ford, Pontiac or Lincoln

@diecast1-24cars 

Mine are arranged by vehicle type (Pony, Muscle, Full-size), then make and year.  Here's some of the full-size, arranged top to bottom in each column by make and year.

@pete-rovero 

Seeing your displays and others, I could just sit down in front of them and stare at them for hours.  And truth be told, when I need to unwind from life's happenings, I sit in my own car room and do just that.  It is very relaxing and a simple way to relieve stress without drinking or popping pills as some people do without hobbies.  My simple advice to people is, "Get a hobby and you'll always be happy".

I just have mine randomly displayed. Although I do have a few shelves in my big cabinet dedicated to specific makes.😊

My simple advice to people is, "Get a hobby and you'll always be happy".  

There are 1000s of reputable studies confirming this.

Research consistently shows hobbies significantly boost well-being by reducing depression, stress, and anxiety while increasing happiness, health, and life satisfaction through pleasurable engagement, social connection, and purpose, impacting both mental and physical health like heart function and lower blood pressure. Studies link creative hobbies (art, music, crafts) to better mental health and physical activities to improved cardiovascular health, emphasizing regular engagement as key.

26

1920s and Brass Era

27

1950s American cars

28

1920s/1930s American daily drivers and light commercials

29

1 shelf of Thunderbirds and Impalas, 2 of Mustangs and Corvettes, 2 of trucks and heavy commercials.

I love seeing all of the displays.  It's interesting to see the various ways of positioning the models.  We are all different but for me I just have to line them up at a 45 degree angle in my display cabinets.  Although this takes up more shelf space I just gotta be able to see the front and one side of each model.  Lol.
