Here I was, happily collecting my Mint hot rods and Vettes, finally getting over my compulsion to collect every diecast ever made. I was poo-pooing the stock ‘30’s Fords, thinking they were only cool if they were chopped, channeled, punched, flamed, or otherwise desecrated. Then I saw Tony’s lost and found reviews, and that’s all it took. Within a month of eBay stalking, I now have three awesome works of art. I really should thank you Tony, number one for all you had work and diligence on getting these reviews out to us, and number two for turning me on to these models. P.S. The ‘36 didn’t come with the instructions, so can anyone please tell me how to work the rear window? It did include the tool, but I can’t figure it out.

Those all look great-AND-you wouldn't be the first guy here to get suckered  into buying something AFTER someone's posted a review and/or pics.  It happens! 😀 😀

Congrats Kevin, they are 3 beautiful models, which I'm pleased to say I also have. Try and find the 33 Convertible if you can. Beautifully detailed interior. Tony has included it amongst his reviews. Doesn't the bike look great mixed in with the cars?

Be careful Kevin, Tony's reviews have cost me a fortune over the years.

Just scored a Model A pickup to go with my other Ford stockers. I’ve always loved the looks of this truck, so I’m not totally blaming Tony for this one. Doe’s anyone know where I can locate a headlight lens? The model is pretty much perfect aside from this.
