A little "something or other" about trucks of all types using truck models I have made and collected, photos I have taken, pictures and drawings I have found from various places. I have been building models for over 40 years and just got back to one of my favorite subjects - TRUCKS. Drop a comment if you wish, or send an e-mail through my profile - I want to hear from you.

Highway 66 - 1941 Chevy Flatbed / Finzio's Sinclair
There's a story behind the subject of this post. I saw this die-cast being offered at a car show I was at a few years back. They wanted too much, so I went online and found it at 3000Toys. When I received it, I had just finished reading Burt Levy's "The Last Open Road", a work of fiction based on the early days of sports car racing. It centers on a fictional garage location - FINZIO'S of Passiac, N.J.
So, my 41 had a sign made up reflecting this. It also has an appropriate load (out of scale) of a
Jaguar XK -140.
Good book. Great Truck - even if it wasn't really a part of the story.
The only thing that I don't like this site that its entirely to short. I am 64 years old and enjoy collecting Diecast models. If you went them at a reasonable price try Motormint.com I think you will be surprise at the how great they look. Would also enjoy hearing from you.
