I think that the idea of a retro inspired design is fantastic. There are many other retro products, so there may well be a market for it. Robin.

I am afraid that I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of my '57 Chevy Station Wagon, as the weather has been terrible here. Fortunately, I found this picture of the car, that was taken by someone else at a show. Robin.

Thank you for the compliments about the cars Vacerator. The 1950's is my favourite era, although I do collect vehicles from the 1930's to the 1970's. Going back to the subject of collecting, I don't think the size of the collection is an issue, as long is it is giving pleasure. Some people...

Here are some pictures of my '57 Chevy 210 and my '69 El Camino. I have also got a '57 150 Handyman Station Wagon, but I don't think that I have got a picture of it. I hope to get the wagon out this week, so I will take some pictures of it then. Robin.

Thank you very much for creating this great resource. It will be of massive benefit to our hobby. Robin.

Thank you. Cars like this should be reasonably plentiful in America, so you will hopefully be able to get one. Robin.

I have just bought another vehicle for my collection. It is a 1931 Ford Model A. Robin.
