....just realized how much these two 1/18 replicas have in common. Interesting, I guess. 🙄 😶 🤨 🙄

The Camaro is NOT dead....

...inside sources have confirmed that the next-gen Camaro will be built alongside the next-gen Cadillac CT5 at GM's Lansing Michigan Grand River assembly plant in 2027 as 2028 models. No pictures yet, sorry, but I'm excited....I'd be very interested in a 2028 Camaro convertible. 😎 😀 😀

Furthermore, it appears that a new '28 Buick sedan will also be built there. 😀

I'm not surprised....

.....I just don't think I've seen these before (or I forgot about it ).

I always cut up or shred shipping labels. I noticed today that several of them are "chipped." They literally have circuitry on the back - and it's garbage! No wonder 85" flat screen TVs are $175 😉 😀 😆

Cold War Artillary...

I can't remember if I posted this before, but emptying my old bachelor pad, I found this Ideal Toys M65 Atomic Cannon. The box had moldered away, but besides the M50 machine gun barrels being bent (I got them straightened out) it's in very nice shape. To be in mint conditions it would need all the stickers that label the barrel, elevation and firing mechanisms that I never put on because they just looked goofy. Those projectile will fly across the room.

1956... a Breakout Year for Lincoln...

Rich Sufficool — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:21:27 +0000

By 1949, Ford and Lincoln-Mercury no longer shared chassis with Lincoln and Mercury shared a new chassis to separately body. In 1956, Lincoln now had its own dedicated chassis ( Continental was its own division for '56 and '57). Lincoln could now present with a longer, lower and sleek design with subdued styling cues taken from the prior year Lincoln Futura concept car. Lincoln also shared the Mark ll's 368 Y-Block V8 further separating it from Mercury's 312. Lincoln's top model, the Premiere, replaced the Capri and sold for a base price of $4601 or $ 54, 486 today. Factory AC was optional. The Premiere model lasted one more year and received minor design changes. Designed to compete with Cadillac and Imperial, the Premiere was produced in all body types save for an extended limousine. This Danbury Mint model is finished in a period popular "Island Coral" with shades of pink , salmon and coral being all the fashion rage at that time.
