Lol ! It would likely be a murder mystery or a supernatural tale. Of course, it could be "This Old House" home improvement series, too ! Roll  

(Either way, I would much rather the vintage cars and trucks were the focus of the broadcasts !) Wink

Thanks ! Several of the models I bought at the Countryside and 1/43 shows in Countryside, IL and the 1956 Lincoln Premiere/John Roberts car I actually got as a door prize at one of the shows, too.

Great pictures Mike. Most here on the forum are old enough to feel the nostalgia you've captured.
