But I’ve gotten models for myself to add to my collection, from muscle cars, to classic tow trucks, to classic delivery vehicles. I’m fascinated by all of them, due to the styling from the time period. As long as they’re museum-grade models, like the Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, Ebbro, CMC, GMP, etc. model companies like those, I’m fine with the additions.

Dude, you’re all over the place with what you collect. All this time I’m thinking you just got cars. What’s the significance with those three? You used to be a cab driver? Lol

😂 No, I wasn’t a cab driver. The Checker cabs had long been phased out, but when I was a kid, I still used to see them around and always wanted to ride in one. Never got the opportunity. Plus, they were built in Kalamazoo, Michigan. So, my sister got that one for me. My wife’s first ride she bought out of school was a new 2011 Jeep, so she got me the 86 Renegade. I was hoping for a Willys mail Jeep, but I like the Renegade, too.

One of our modes of transportation on our wedding day was a 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, which was used to take us to our reception, so she also got that one for me. The rest were ones I either asked for or had an emotional breakdown at the autorama while drooling over them. The autorama is different from the auto show. It’s actually better. Picture a classic car auto show. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

A USPS Jeep? LOL! I need to see these. Why the fascination over some that no one should be fascinated by? Was the Rolls Royce an actual replica of the car y’all rode to the reception in?

I didn't know checker cabs were made in Kzoo. That's where my son lives now and the general area where I'm looking to move this summer.

Yeah, the Rolls is a replica of the same car we used. And those Jeeps? C’mon, man. They’re mail-delivering superheroes. Admit it, you’re intrigued now.

Model by The Franklin Mint

Real car. This one is a 1960. Ours was a 55, but they look the same.

Danbury Mint U.S. Mail Jeep. On my must have list.

Yeah, I wasn’t aware of that either, not until I read the paperwork that came with the model.

I believed you when you said they had mad detail, but damn, that’s a lot. I’m assuming the USPS Jeep comes with the mail bags? Does the Rolls Royce come with the couple and champagne like in the video?
