I had an opportunity today to meet at a storage locker where a recently acquired collection was being stored in preparation for sale at upcoming shows. Another collector and I had the privilege to go through and pick out some models that you don't get to see every day. Here's what I got...

Congratulations on your finds. I am very jealous of the adding of the Duesenberg Queen of Diamonds, I've been hunting for that model for some time. In person, this is an incredible car.

@karl It would be a close call, but the Golden Submarine would be the fav of the day. I was beginning to think I'd never get that one.

Great finds Randy. I have more modern resin models of some of those, plus the Queen of Diamonds and Golden Submarine. I wonder where mine will end up someday?
