    When Herbie the Love Bug came to our theater, the theater had a real Herbie parked outside, and when the movie left it's run, my aunt and uncle bought the car!! I was about 7 years old at the time and loved riding around town with them!!! Great memories!!🥰🥰🥰

The Auto Art should bring the highest amount. I use to buy and sell these all the time and always did good even when I had some at discounted prices. $20 each is a good purchase price and I am think you will more than double you money on this collection. Makes me wish I was still in Canada buying and selling die cast and would love to have some of those cars but would cost a fortune to ship to the Philippines and then not much room here for the 1/18th models.

      On the prairies, this is called “breakup.” The frost goes up to 3-feet deep and expands the moisture in the soil. When it thaws, that now liquid takes time to either bleed off at the surface or redistribute itself in the soil. If you drive on it at that time, you’re in the mud. Even rock will sink in that mix until it stabilizes. Doable, but takes multiple layers of rock to fix. In the oil fields to the north, they give breakup time to settle before going over the roads.

It was a really cool car but dangerous to drive when it rained, lol. I loved that car but sadly had to sell it due to it needing a part we couldn't find anywhere and I needed a car to drive. That was a very sad day. And yes, the man I sold it to knew about the ONE bad part and the fact we couldn't find it.

    The Prowler was based on a design created for a competition by Chip Foose when he was in his final year of design school. The original design was eventually produced by Foose Designs as Hemisfear and it's even cooler.

    Can’t believe you put those green sticker on some of the paper parts of the box. They are impossible to get off without damaging the box. I know because I bought some of your LP’s and they damaged them. Oh well good luck love ya
