It is pretty good to be able to look back and hold some of our old history right in our hands. I have a few things like that, sadly car models are not one of them. I had models from 1958 and into the mid 60's that I built. Saved the better ones. My dad gave them to my oldest son to play with when he was visiting grandpa. They are all gone. Got my trains though so not everything went that way thankfully.
My vote for "favorite" is the 58 Chevy hardtop. Did not see many of them racing in Maine. One driver had one and I read that it took him a while to sort out the suspension. 58 was the first year Chevy used coil springs in the back. They used arms to locate the axle and is similar to the NASCAR suspension of today. But back then it was a whole new world for everyone.
All of those models are nice and very nice for you to still have. Do you ever look at them and think back to those younger days any?
