Thank you all.  Just back from my cousins in North Carolina.  I got coffee beans for my birthday but no 1/43rd.  Oh well...   Here is a Tekno FORD D-800 delivering some IRMA coffee!  [Cars are 1/43 but the truck is 1/50, I think.]

Hope you had a fabulous birthday Karl. Do I spy a Tekno DKW Junior to the left of the Ford lorry and a Märklin RAK BMW 2000 CS to the right?

Love the two background buildings - reminds me of old wooden style garages made by Tri-ang.

@chris-sweetman  Good eyes - I wondered if you or someone else would spot them!  Tekno DKW and Marklin BMW 2002.

 The 2 houses are the backs of a Swedish garage and Danish gas station made for Tekno or similar 1/43... Both are wooden.

I received this card from my cousin.  She knew I was a car guy and was very amused when I said it looked like a Dodge in the front and a Mustang in thre back!  A real "classic" per the license plate. 😲  What do you think?  It's metallic red, 3-layer 3D so hard to scan.  Slightly larger than 1/43rd!

And here are more Ford cab over trucks.  A Euro designed Ford (CF8000) which was also sold in the USA after the long running C Series.  This is an Alan Smith white metal kit.
