DISPLAY OR NOT?

@stewil 

An incredible story about your niece and her "getting it".  I love it!  And the final photo of the room makes me want to visit it and get lost in it.  THANKS for sharing.  

@stewil

I say that same thing to my kids.  Though my collection isn't even close to yours Bob, acquiring it for me was "one car at a time", and suddenly it's like, what happened?

@pete-rovero I only have about 75 1/24 left. Mostly I have 1/43. Here is a display of my Birds.

I love your Thunderbird Display.  Thanks for sharing!  Just curious, has your Red 1960 T-Bird been able to avoid the die-cast cancer?  Mine literally all but crumbled some years back.  In the early stages of the cancer, I took these photos.  

I was so sad.  I loved this model.

Love your T-birds and maybe you have them all???

Here is my cache. The ladies are stunning Sirens to the unwitting male, fallen back onto the gold Bird behind.

One more pic, two Birds, mixed scales where the '57 completes the 2-seater set.

I like your displays Steve!  Thanks for sharing.

Excellent display of your Birds!  I have 10 out of your 16 Birds plus the black '62 Town Landau.  I also did a few repaints so I have all the available colors of the '62 Sports Roadster.

@georgeschire Hi George, actually this is my second red 1960. The first one totally crumbled and went to trash over 3 years ago. So far this one has eluded the rash! Chuck

Good to hear that you are lucky so far on the second one.  I loved that model so much.  I remember the day it arrived, I showed my wife and gave her a long story about Thunderbirds.  Of all the DM & FM T-Birds, it was my favorite!  It was he RED that popped it for me.  Then when I found the hood and doors covered with cracks and eroding, I was devastated.  It continued to get worse and became very noticeable of the bad shape it was in on my car shelf.  I finally resolved that it had to go, and it went to the trash bin on a garbage pick-up day.  Being that I know the car is prone to "rot", I wouldn't take the chance on another one.  Glad you've been lucky though!
