I collect 1/64 diecast of all brands but almost all Fords (a few Mercs, Willys, and VW's). I collect and build plastic models too and have somewhere around 125 to 150 still in boxes and also mostly Fords. I also seem to be collecting old Ford trucks ('56, '69, '70, & '95) as well as their grilles. I have a '52 Ford truck grille hanging above an arch in my living room and a '53, '54, '55, three '56, a '67, and two '68-'69 grilles hanging on the walls of my garage. I have some Model T parts, Model A parts, several different hub caps, and road signs hanging around as well. My now ex-wife used to ask me why I collected 'all of that junk'. I told her, "because when I look at it, it makes me smile". Did I mention that she's my EX-wife?

My wife now told me, "ABSOLUTELY!" when I asked her about hanging the '52 grille in our living room.

Love that woman...

and my stuff!
