 The guy ain't much to look at, but he sure knows how to party.

Seriously, though, scholars generally agree that both psychological and biological factors play a role in causing disorders like this, although they differ in their degree of emphasis upon either type of factor. I'm sure there are psychiatric medicines that could help.

Absolutely incredible!

Here's where some of the model cars came from.

WOW, thanks for the link Don.  That's like reliving my teenage years.

I owned that '53 Chevy coupe when I was 17!  Childhood memories flood back. 

Gotta say tho... those fins were ugly then and they still are.  Classic Detroit iron.

[diyfrank]

I will take ugly any day. Love those cars.

I owned or drove quite a few of them too.  51 chevy 56 merc 58 ford 61 merc

Probably still have them sitting around collecting that great petina I bet. 

[glenn kangiser]

Wish I still had them, but still have a few others.  The 1919 and 1926 Dodges, a basket case 49 Plymouth?  some '40s trucks - Union Oil with the big block letters on the sides- not restored -

[zion-diy]

Yeah, I wish I still had some of our old hotrods. but you had to give up one to get another. least in my life it worked that way.
got a link to some of our cars. been scanning all the pics I can find.

zion-diy,  I did some browsing in the photos. I bet you miss more than just a few of those.

Is that a 35 or 40 ft buffalo?

49 Plymouth was my first car.  I got in Barstow from a man who's son was in Vietnam in 1966.  Loved that car.

[glenn kangiser]

My granddad had a 49 or 50 I think - I think my cousin got it.  I had a 41 Lincoln Zephyr but traded it to the guy with the Plymouth as it was quite a basket case.

This is amazing. I thought it was real. I was looking at the first picture and I thought, something feels weird, but I still thought it was real! I didn't know it was models until I read the title up top.

Those models are amazing. With the new techniques of filming movies (see Avatar!) those could easily be period stage sets.

Thanks for the memories (50's but not the 30's!).
