Do you collect die-cast vehicles?


Our interests in all things automotive likely began with a Tonka truck. Or maybe it was the Hot Wheels collection. If you're a car enthusiast you probably have a few pieces of automobilia in the garage, gameroom, or even your office. In your collection of automobilia there is probably a die-cast car, truck, or motorcycle. Your die-cast collection might be a model of a car you once owned, currently own, or wish you could afford to own. The quality and detail can vary between manufacturers as well as the pricing. My personal favorites are GMP cars and First Gear trucks. Being in the Atlanta area I've had the opportunity to visit the GMP facility for their annual car show. Roaming through their offices will have you feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. The walls are covered with various collections they've produced over the years. There are display cases for 1/64th to 1/12th size cars. A collection of artwork is displayed throughout the offices and halls. If you've been, you know what an amazing collection is there. If you ever have the chance to visit...do it. Got any favorites of your own? Tell me about your collection.
