So, what cool and unusual AD stuff have you collected? My sons slippers.. A fossil clock I found at Auto Fair... And a clay model I made a while back... What do you have?
Cool stuff! Those slippers look aweful big for Wyatt's little feet. Are you sure those aren't yours? Here's a couple of mine. Ken
1951 Advance-Design Dealership banner http://community.webshots.com/photo/2112227330102454676jzYbgm I have also collected all the parts manuals and owners manuals from 1947-1955 1st series (originals not reprints).
Collectables ! Sure ! I have plenty after driving & working on old Chevy trucks since , well , long ago ; I have rust , dents , mouse poop ........ I LOVE your DeLuxe Nu-Vue Cab model ken .
Are You KIDDING ?! Most here have piles of collected stuff , you know , worn out brake drums , shredded clutches and sloppy U-Joints , wobbly kins pins , leakey heaters , stripped out the rusty window cranks and door handles .
I have all that also, in bins that make me look organized......but I want to see all the weird stuff you have found. I have all the AD matchbox cars I have been able to find, etc.
I wish! I'd _LOVE_ to get my hands on one of those 50 <Chevy> truck models that Revel (sp?) made... I use to see them EVERYWHERE! (Okay, only at Walmart, but that was back when their stuff came from America...) I've looked for matchbox cars~ gone. Hotwheels? Close, but not quite... I know where I can get a metal GMC model truck, but it's kinda pricey... (Oh, that's right, it's a GMC!) I'd just love to have a model to try out my paint scheme on. (Yes, by now it has changed slightly...) I LOVE the clay model, Russ!
I have a few of the model kits, but I ain't sharin'. I had to use 2 of them to make the long bed like mine. I have a metal model I have been trying out paint on. I don't see as many hot wheels or other brands with AD models anymore, but I still check.
Genuine Hot Rod Catalog Got this catalog in the mail yesterday. Mostly car stuff, but they did have this model. http://www.genuinehotrod.com/PartDetail.asp?DepID=5&SecID=20&PLID=1336&PartId=8694
My stuff Ok, besides the stuff Nate describes, which we all have, here is some of my fun stuff. The first 2 pics are a flashlight that I got at Old Navy, the second is the Hot wheel, next is a tin sign I found on line, the next is also a tin sign from on line, the last is birthday card from my dogs, note the truck, My wife got it at Hallmark I think.
Cool stuff 48 aero! A buddy of mine gave me a cool print of a watercolor picture entitled "Last Mile". This was my reward for the countless phone calls, emails, and lunches while he was playing with the new toy. I think we both came out on top!
I think someone once gave me a bottle of wine called Red Truck - I think it has an AD on the label, but the wine was not that memorable.
truck wines Yes, I went to a wine tasting about a year ago and the truck wines were featured. I kept a box of the white (empty) as that one was the best.
