1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette from a Gallery store in 1999. Still have it.

Same here. The beginning of a long, never ending addiction.

Yes, Phil, my others are DM (or other scales).

I'm shocked that no one else names the FM '35 M-B 500K

Wow that's amazing to me! What self control you have
Of the approximately 270 1:24th scale models I have, about 1/2 are FM. I'm curious I'll give a head count and get back to you

I couldn't decide on just one so I bought two from the FM Gallery in
Torrance. 1964 1/2 red Mustang Convertible and the 1957 red/white Ford Skyliner. Miss that place!

PICS My first model ever was the turquoise 1956 T-bird. Got it mid-90s. Still have it.
Recently bought a yellow one to go with it.

My first FM car ever was the red & white 57 Chevy HT. What a piece of crap! I got it after
I'd purchased the DM blue 57 Chevy convertible, and couldn't believe how bad FM's version of the car was in comparison.

In December 1996, I bought the '63 Silver Impala SS hardtop. Despite its missing the vent window glass, it is still one of my favorite Chevys. It is wired, and just look at the interior, including the radio vents on the dashboard. Beautiful.
