Massive Model Car Collection Donated to Church

As car guys we like to collect cars big or small. Here is one massive model car collection donated to a church:

Thats impressive! I have a 1:18 diecast collection of some of my favorite classic cars. My collection only contains 8 and I thought mine was doing well. 30,000 is insane!

I have about 15 (1/18 and 1/24th scale) mostly Olds 442s, I display 4 cars in my office at work and 3 more at home. The rest are in boxes in the garage due to lack of display room. I also have 30-40 matchbox size cars again mostly of Olds 442s. I sold off some when we had to downsize from a 2,800 sq ft home to a 1,500 sq ft home.

Oh ok thats pretty cool. There is a garage down the road from me that restored a Red and white 442 that is for sale. It sounds pretty cool. They remind me of the 68 firebird front with a Chevelle rear. My collection is spread out. from 1956-1978. My favorite is tied between my 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T and my 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 by Greenlight.

I have a Franklin Mint 98 Corvette convertible; almost exactly like the one I used to own. Same exact colors; silver w/black top and interior. The model has the side moldings that my real one didn't. The real one had chrome wheels the model doesn't.
