My Automodello 1940-41 Checker Model A. And yeah, the front end really looked like that....

@karl Right, Karl. I thought that was very cool, but it fits so tight that I don't dare to try to open it up again!

@monteverde802 Us weird guys have to stick together! And if you like weird, there's nothing better than Autocult models. Have any of those?

@randyrusk Unfortunately not, Randy. By the time I became aware of them I had missed a whole bunch of great models. They're few and far between in the secondary market and usually go for deservedly big bucks.

@monteverde802 This is true, but they're also announcing new stuff just about monthly. I have the Zephyr Land Yachts coming next week. They will be a jewel in the collection of oddities.

This Checker is the crown jewel of my taxi collection.

@monteverde802 I was fortunate to buy that one when it was first released. It's rarely seen on the secondary market.

@randyrusk Fortunate, indeed. Last time I saw one online (and it has been quite a while) I think it was selling for upwards of US$300.
