A bit off the subject; but one of my favorite actresses, Diana Dors, got a Delahaye car back in the day. Easy to find a picture of it and her on the internet.
Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

I had hoped Santa would bring me one of the Iconic Replicas "New Flyer Industries XT40 Xcelsior transit buses" but it's looking like he can't find one. I am hoping they will come out with a trolleybus version of this bus to go with the diesel, CNG and battery bus versions issued so far. Time is running out for him to get me one but I've crossed my fingers for one  .
Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

Well, time to make you all jealous. Santa went overboard this year to make up for the last few lean years modeling-wise. I got many nice things which I will list here and I will soon put photos on my PhotoBucket pages.
From Iconic Replicas:
87-0040 MCI Coach Bus - Arrow Stage Lines - Red & white graphics
87-0008 MCI D4505 Bus - Max Coach - green, white & black graphics
from River Point Station:
5057-10 Ford F350 red pickup truck
5755-27 Ford F350 dually in graphite gray
7607-R2 Ford Expedition Fire Department
5726-79 Ford F450 bucket truck Fire Department (matches paint scheme above)
5097-79 Ford F350 pickup with topper Fire Department (matches above)
5725-02 Ford F450 pickup truck with utility body, yellow
5057-07 Ford F350 4x4 pickup truck, black

BOS87240 Studebaker Commandar Starliner, red with white roof
BOS87060 Dodge Royale Lancer in two-tone pink
BOX87155 Packard Straight 8 Sport Phaeton, dark red & black with tan convertible top
Thank you Santa; and, if any of you got a visit from him let us know what you got.
Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy Could this be her?  I could imagine her singing Santa Baby "...a '54 convertible, light blue..." It wouldn't matter too much if the year wasn't exactly right. |

What a nice collection of gifts, swampdaddy. That red Studebaker looks especially good to me.
I didn't ask for, or receive, any 1:87 but I don't mind...Santa's elf in the brown truck brought me all that I wanted a few weeks ago.

Yes, that's her; and, if I could find her or some other movie star in HO scale I'd buy that BoS Delahaye to put her in.  . I've seen better pictures and maybe I'll find one.

Well, even if not 1/87 let us know what the ol'brown truck brought you.  Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy |

I got very few things, which is exactly what I wanted! My kids were the priority, and they were happy, so I was happy. Not to mention, my Christmas comes throughout the year when 'Santa' (my checking account) buys me things I want and can afford at the time, lol.
