Nice. That semi set is way cool. I don't remember the dragster, but that's awesome too.

I still have my Evil Knievel car that the body would come apart when you hit the front bumper

Found this a few weeks ago. I just recently became aware that the Cox fuel contains nitromethane. As purchased, and after some sprucing up. This model has a recoil pull starter on it

I have one just like that

I have one just like that

Does yours have the pull starter? I understand sometime after cox put these on the market that they were sued for patent infringement over the starter. They then stopped selling models with the starter and replaced it with a knob at the back of the engine that you turned by a motion like you were snapping your fingers.

I will have to look. I know one of my gas cars has a pull start. Not sure what one

S&H GREEN STAMPS
Wow that goes back!

I got a catalog with Dinah Shore on the cover ……somewhere.
I thought the decals would add to the nostalgia. I can remember seeing them all over.

I found this lighter the other day. I had to improvise some missing parts to fix it, but it now seems to work fine

How in sams creek did you find lighter parts?
Especially for that

 

[Mike Szadaj]

The spring to hold the flint up and the screw to hold the spring in were both missing. I cut a piece of spring from another lighter without ruining the functionality of it because this lighter uses a very short spring . I found a screw that fit in the bottom to hold the spring in. I had to grind down the diameter of the head of the screw to allow it to fit in the hole it goes in.

I found this emergency car kit the other day at an estate sale for four bucks. They really went all out to make the carrying case look classy. I like the aerosol can fire extinguisher. The red flashing emergency light has a magnet on the back so you could stick it on your car. Also, there is a hole in the back of the case, covered by a snap on patch that you can place the light in from the inside, and then the carrying case acts as a stand for the light.

That is cool
I wonder what the chemicals are

 

[Mike Szadaj]

I found a couple of Uniroyal tire covers

A couple recent adds to accumulation. The Heidelberg mug lights up and the clear twisted piece spins to look like beer coming out of the tap.

Found a few more pieces at an estate sale this weekend that I had to bring home.

A Plymouth dealership sign I just recently acquired. It lists the Plymouth VIP which places the sign being from 1966 to 1969. Interestingly it appears to be missing the section where the Satellite and GTX would be listed.

I picked this battery display this weekend at an estate auction at a former speed shop in Columbus, Indiana.

Oops I covered up the back of the cards

Hey Mike,
Do you have room for a John Beam wheel alignment set? Yours for the hauling.
