Wedge-Shaped Tuesday! Here we have a Lamborghini Countach from the Franklin Mint. The Countach is widely considered one of the most iconic and influential sports cars of all time, known for its radical wedge-shaped body, scissor doors, and powerful mid-mounted engine. Enjoy!

Convertible Wednesday! Today we have a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet from the Franklin Mint. The 911 Carrera is named after the Carrera Panamericana, which was a dangerous sports car race held in Mexico during the 1950s. The word "Carrera" in Spanish translates to "race" or "career" in English, and it was chosen to reflect the car's racing heritage and performance-oriented design. Enjoy!

Nice Lu. I have the black version. I believe this red version is quite rare?

@geoff-jowett That's possible. I'm not 100% sure 😐

Long Roof Thursday! Here we have a 1958 Ford Edsel Bermuda Station Wagon from the Danbury Mint. The Bermuda station wagon was produced for only two model years, 1958 and 1959, making it a rare and unique vehicle. It was also known for its distinctive "teletouch" push-button transmission, which was located on the steering wheel hub instead of on the floor or dashboard like most other cars of its time. Additionally, the Bermuda featured a "floating" tailgate design, which was hinged at the roofline and could be raised to provide additional cargo space. Enjoy!

Geoff, the red Targa is rare, not the convertible.

Pickup Monday! Here we have a 1929 Dodge Pickup Truck from the Danbury Mint. One unique aspect of the 1929 Dodge pickup truck was its innovative "floating power" engine mounting system. Rather than being rigidly bolted to the frame, the engine was mounted on rubber blocks that allowed it to move slightly with the vehicle's vibrations and bumps in the road. This helped to reduce engine noise and vibration, resulting in a smoother ride for the driver and passengers. Additionally, the 1929 Dodge pickup truck featured a stylish and distinctive Art Deco design, which set it apart from other trucks of its era. Enjoy!

I think the pictures are of a 1931 Chevrolet....
They both look alike, don't they. The Dodge has yellow wooden wheels and the Chevy is a "roadster".

Correction Tuesday! Here we have a 1931 Chevrolet Roadster Pickup Truck from the Danbury Mint. The truck's open-top design and sleek styling made it a popular choice. Despite its popularity, the 1931 Chevrolet Roadster Pickup was only produced for one year, with production ending in 1932. Enjoy!

Supercharged Wednesday! Today we have a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk from the Danbury Mint. The 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk was a unique and stylish car, but one of its most distinctive features was its supercharged engine. The Golden Hawk was powered by a 289 cubic inch V8 engine with a Paxton supercharger, which boosted its horsepower from 275 to 275. This made it one of the most powerful American cars of its time. Enjoy!
