They're boxed up in the garage now - kids can throw 'em away when I'm gone. I went through phases - military vehicles, exotics, show cars (remember Cherry Bomb). Always gravitated back to the Mopars. But one of my favorites, which finally disintegrated over time, was the '55 Shoebox Chevy gasser - Badman.
