I really like your specialization. FYI, Auburn Rubber made Oldsmobiles from about 1936 through about 1940 that were close to 1:43. They often show up on eBay, usually less than $50, sometimes much less, depending upon condition. Have fun!

I just found DSL Shops online, and they offer a very cool auto dealership/repair shop with Oldsmobile signs. Very reasonably priced, too. Check 'em out!
