Johnny Lightning Pony Power Garage - 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2

The other model from the Pony Power Garage 2-pack - here is a '65 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback looking resplendent in what I am assuming is the Champagne Gold color.


Johnny Lightning Pony Power Garage - 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Managed to find this still on the shelves at a discount store - here is Johnny Lightning's Pony Power Garage with a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T.


Christmas Fair in Strasbourg

My wife had to go to Strasbourg for work, and I am fortunate enough to be able to tag along. Went to the annual Christmas fair, and found this booth selling tin toys. Would love to have the disposable income to buy it all, but settled on just browsing. The security is heightened and very visible.

Hot Wheels Cadillac LMP (Le Mans Prototype) (28742) - from 2001 Mainline New Editions

In 2000 Cadillac decided to re-enter Le Mans racing and built the LMP (Le Mans Prototype). In 2001 Hot Wheels released their version of the Cadillac LMP (28742). It is a great representation of the real thing. I don't follow Le Mans, but the race cars have a certain flair to them.


Castline M2 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi - Walmart exclusive

I'm a big MOPAR fan, so was happy to add this model to my collection. M2 does a good job on this casting, but I would have preferred non-operational doors. The passenger side door especially seems out of whack. Don't know enough about drag racing to know if this is based on a real car - I think that SS/B means super stock B class, but not even sure of that.

Hot Wheels 1967 Custom Mustang (BFG90) - Walmart ZAMAC from 2014 Mainline

I don't try too hard to get all of the ZAMAC models, but I will pick them up when I see them on the pegs. This is a nice looking version with decals over bare medal.

Hot Wheels Long Gone (BDR93) - From 2014 Pop Culture series

Here is Hot Wheels Long Gone sporting markings commemorating Hot Tamales candy. I like the semi-truck, and need to get it in a more conventional paint job.
