Here's one I just happened to notice in one of my display cases.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are a professional Canadian football team based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They are currently members of the East Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL). The Tiger-Cats play their home games at Tim Hortons Field. They were founded in 1869 as the Hamilton Football Club (nickname "Tigers"). In 1950, the Tigers merged with cross-town upstart Hamilton Wildcats and adopted the nickname "Tiger-Cats".

The 2002 model for the C.T.C.S. was the 1959 Chrysler 300E Convertible as a Parade Car with two Omen figures. (One of the little guys who hangs around here hopped into the driver's seat.) It is finished in silver with a grey interior and a black steering wheel. The wheel rims are black and are accented by bright-etched wheel covers and whitewall tyres. Front and rear license plates read "ONTARIO C.T.C.S. 02", the baseplate reads "C.T.C.S. 2002 1 of 300". The detailed Omen figures consist of a Tiger-Cats football player and a cheerleader, seated on the rear tonneau cover as they would during the annual Grey Cup Parade. The model has a decal on the doors which honors the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Canadian Football League Eastern Conference champions in 1959. The production was limited to 300 pieces.
Just thought some might be interested.

(I have a hunch there's a story involved in the selection of this subject by the C.T.C.S. I know that John Hall, founder of Brooklin, was an active member of the C.T.C.S. Anybody?)
