I started collecting these guys several years ago. Sorry I don't have a better camera, but maybe you can get an idea. These are all from the Danbury mint, and cost about 100 bux each. Yeah, I know.....a waste of money, but I just like collecting stuff like this. Anyway, all the doors, hoods, trunks etc. all open and the detail inside and underneath is very close to original detail. Any of you guys collect these? You can probably tell I am a vintage Ford man.

My step dad has a BUNCH of models. Not all Ford, but I'll take some pictures tomorrow. I left my camera in my photo class today. He does have a 1968 Shelby GT-350 (I think that's what it is), and a 1964 1/2 Convertible. Anyways, I'll post em up tomorrow. Like your models btw.

Yeah, I am a cigarette smoker. Also a beer drinker. I got off cigs for about a year, but dipped Copenhagen and that stuff is worse than cigs.

I quit Skoal at the police academy in 1999. I still want a chew all the time.

1 can of dip has the nicotine equivilant of 60 cigarettes, and you wonder why chewing is so hard to quit considering at times I chewed almost a can a day.

Oh and BTW.... a can of Skoal in Washington State is 7-8 dollars. Gotta love those taxes!

I get a hankering for a dip every now and then, but only use it on an airplane where I can't smoke. You're not supposed to dip on the airplane either, but nobody can tell. I don't spit, but I do get the hic-ups.
