The Difference Between the Men and the Boys Is the Price of Their Toys!
What a topic you say? Will it even get a reader or a comment? Probably not the point. Just a topic I wanted to share and inspired by a read in the New York Times this morning.
A little known fact about me, I collect (or use to...have not purchased one in years) Matchbox die-cast cars. I'm not talking the kinda phony ones of today, but some of the originals ones from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Back when they were die cast, with real tires, interiors and the details, oh my! They don't quite make 'em like that anymore!
Then, this morning, as I was surfing the New York Times Online, I happened into the Auto Section. Of course, the new models at the New York Auto Show had me drooling, but then I found a story on Michael Paul Smith. He collects the much larger type die cast's and does some amazing things with photography. Be sure to take a look at the pictures in the story, and realize those are ALL model cars and sets he created to photograph them. Pretty amazing. I've also got a collection of Lincoln Continental Dealer brochures from the 60's through the 90's. They are packed in a box as they are pretty hard to display in any form that does not take an entire wall of a room!
Just thought I'd share something other that real estate today!
