I bought Disney's Steamboat Willie. My father had a 8 mm home projector and I watch Disney's most cartoons, so this model has a nostalgic value for me. I still have Disney's 8 mm movie reels.
PS My 2000 th post! Yes, time flies
Hey Levent! I LOVE that HW Steamboat!! I bought this 32 Ford back in 2018.. Congrats on your 2000th post!!!
Re: 1:64 scale Diecast (Hot Wheels)
My local Walmart hadn't restocked their 1:64th diecast inventory for well over a month.. (lots of empty peg-hooks.. and certainly nothing remaining..) so I hadn't bought much over that course of time. When I approached the aisle at the store today.. the peg-hooks were full of new offerings. I was psyched.. because..... well........ you know why.
This one here.. caught my eye; right away..
wiki-Willy's/Kaiser/Jeep-FC
Oh yea.... and I have to include this one too; a Matchbox offering..
I was born in 1960...
Both the Chevrolet El Caminos and the Ford Rancheros were the epitome of when I was a kid. It was the Ford Motor Co. who would introduce the "Coupe Utility" in 1957.
wiki-Ford Ranchero
I have a few different 1:64 scale models..
The "61" Ford Ranchero.. (I believe was based on their "Falcon" platform/chassis..)
Later; (1970-72).. Ford built the Ranchero on the intermediate "Torino" platform/chassis.
and some more Chevys... The later/mid-1960's El Caminos were based on Chevrolet's "Chevelle" platform/chassis.

I recently packed all of my 1:64 scale diecast in two storage boxes that fit under a standard bed-frame.. but it hasn't stopped me from buying more when I see some that I like.

Roddie. That's quite a range of utes you have there. Anyone would think you were an Aussie. Of course, we lay claim to coming up with the concept of making a truck out of a sedan. Owning a "Ute" out here is every young man's right of passage.
The Ford Coupe Utility was born in Aus in 1934. What differentiates a ute from a pick-up is that the Ute has a full integral body without a removable tray. Our last offering of a Ford Falcon Ute in 2016 was not strictly a ute because it has a separate removeable rear body.
In U.S. speak, I actually owned a 1965 "Ranchero". (XP Falcon Ute to us). Had nowhere to store it after Mum sold the farm so I let it go. Would have been a perfect restoration project and I regret selling it, but hopefully someone did a nice restoration on it and it's happily motoring around somewhere.

Yea Rodney.. since I was a kid I've loved the "Utes".. whether they were Fords or Chevrolets. I never owned one though. My youngest brother owned a later-model Chevy El Camino when he was in his early twenties.
Re: 1:64 scale Diecast (Hot Wheels)
goodaye Roddie the old morris minor. myself and two friends ended up owning in various states of brokeness 3 like the green one and 1 panel van. we could buy them for almost nothing and used them as our frid/sat night cars. lol they were great. piece of wire under the dash to start them. change a motor out of one by two fellas lifting it out. we ended up selling them in pieces and made a tidy proffit.
