With the ever increasing price of gasoline, there has been much talk lately, among collectible car owners as to how best to weather these increases. When my 1965 Thunderbird was new, the average price of (leaded) premium gas was about 32 cents per gallon.

Early 1890's the Hubley Manufacturing Company of Pennsylvania began work on Cast Iron Toys and appliances pertaining to the times. Mostly toy guns pee shooters and even model horse drawn carriages we're largely popular. As the automotive and military markets and designs began to spread so did the style of Hubley vehicles in the 1900's. The rare stuff though is any and all cast iron toys. By WW2 most of the public donated these collectables to the war effort and toys were melted to become weapons and vehicles. A zinc die cast alloy was introduced to the toys at the same time and the name on the toys changed to Kiddie until the company was sold in 1965. The question most people have though is how to tell the difference between the die cast and the cast iron. The easiest way is that those tha

For me there are few things more satisfying in life, than to stand back after several hours of washing and waxing one my cars and admiring all that hard labor.My grandfather once remarked to me that a car actually seemed to run better after it was washed and waxed. I know what he means and I'm sure many of you share the same feeling.Now considering that my collectible cars sit all winter covered, in a garage, the first washing of the year isn’t as extensive as a cleaning for my everyday cars would be.If you followed the advice in my last post regarding checking your collectible car’smechanical items after its winter sleep, you’re now ready to do the detailed cleaning. In this post I will deal with the cleaning your car’s exterior. Be prepared to put aside a couple of hours. Somethi

With spring right around the corner, many of us are getting anxious to start cruising in our collectible cars once again. Of course before you take that car out on the road, you’ll have to give it the once over in order to see how it fared through the winter and make any necessary repairs to insure care free driving. Speaking of insuring, lets talk about insuring your collectible car. Some collectible car owners think the easiest way to insure their classic car is to add it to their family auto insurance policy…this could be a very costly mistake. Your average auto insurance agent doesn't have a clue about what your classic car is really worth and will attempt to offer you the lowest possible value if the vehicle is totaled. An insurance agent needs to know enough about the classic c

Christmas is rapidly approaching and for those of you who have no idea what to get the collectible car aficionado in your family, I have compiled a list of what I think are some pretty cool gifts. This list could apply to those in search of birthday gift ideas as well.

There are two noteable companies that specialize in this type of item.

By: Deon Melchior When you think of collectible items, you think of things like dolls, bears, baseball cards, and stamps. Few people instinctively think of electronic or mechanical items. The common view is that after electronics are out of date, they are completely worthless, even to collectors. This is proving to be untrue. Many people are interested in collecting antique electronic items. However, one of the most popular hobbies involving electronics is to collect foreign items. These electronic or mechanical items are often very unique and interesting in their construction, and this attracts many people to import them and add them to collections of similar things. Read on to find out about what kind of items are the most popular, and how people generally collect them.Countries like Taiwan and Japan are known for being on the cutting edge of technology, as well as having many ridiculous concepts that never quite get off of the ground.

A growing field of numismatics (study of money), or more specifically Exonumia (study of money-like objects), credit card collectors seek to collect various embodiments of credit from the now familiar plastic cards to older paper merchant cards, and even metal tokens that were accepted as merchant credit cards. Early credit cards were made of celluloid, then metal and fiber, then paper and are now mostly plastic.source : Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia
By: Gregg HallFor all of those who retire to the television for hours at a time to gaze at colorful machines whizzing around an asphalt track, the idea of taking a front seat to the action is quite enticing. However, for most this is just a childhood or even grown up fantasy which is unlikely to result in the shifting of gears and pit stops to frantically change smoky tires. For some, there may be a way to quench, or at least wet, the thirst for first hand NASCAR excitement: diecast cars.In today's modern market of video games and computer overuse, there is a concept being revived in popular culture: the collectible car. While many may remember the days of the matchbox car, few children today can appreciate the true popularity that was once there. With the dawn of a new miniature car series, this notion may change. Kids may just hang up their joysticks and stop to take in the most recent release from Racing Champions.Who can turn down a good duplicate? Americans everywhere enjoy the h

Acme Studio Business Card Cases -- If you've ever been to Japan, you know the maniacal importance of meishi (MAY-shee), aka "business cards." Over there they are dealt out gracefully in social ballets of business etiquette, while over here they are occasionally rescued from the pits of purses or tweezed out of the inner strata of wallets. Then there's the added buffoonery of the cardless: "Well, you know so-and-so and they can get in touch with so-and-so if you need to get in touch with me or the so-and-so I know, too." We have so much to learn.
For starters, we'd love to further popularize the term meishi in America. It's such a prettier sounding word! However, until that happens, we'd like you to sharpen the usual introductory melee by adding a personal touch of style. We found the cutest collectible business card cases from Acme Studio to do just that. Slide your meishi out of one of these posh little numbers, and you'll show you're a class act.

I’m a big reader. If I don’t have at least three books stacked up waiting for me, I get edgy. Thankfully, my family realizes this, and for Mother’s Day my gift was being turned loose in a bookstore. Aaaah! THAT’S a gift!!
My current book is Purple Cow by Seth Godin. I’ve only recently discovered Seth, but I love his style, enthusiasm and unashamed honesty. If he likes a product or idea, you’ll know. If he doesn’t, you’ll know that, too. He’s got a great blog, too!
One line in Purple Cow stood out for me. Seth asked, “Could you make a collectible version of your product?” I thought, “YES!”
