This is my first post here on this forum. Most of my collection comprises of 1:43rd scale models of obsolete and modern die-casts. Here are some examples from my collection:

I'm new to collecting myself, and have just joined this board. I've been surfing the boards, getting familiar with what others are collecting. Just the other day, something jogged an old memory of some cars I had owned as a child that had removable wheels. The Corgi in the 2nd pic was from that series (although it wasn't one of the ones I owned).

Those cars were so exciting! Behind each wheel on the chassis was a gold lever which released the wheel and doubled as a jack. I had two or three of them, and I got a lot of use out of those cars. I loved them.

Anyone else remember these? Anyone have more pics, or a list of the other models?

Oh yah, I loved those Golden Jacks as a kid too. Here are two threads with 3 of them pictured: :thumbsup:

One (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=228282&highlight=golden+jacks) and Two (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=224742&highlight=golden+jacks)

Thanks for the links!

Gee, I wish I could remember which ones I had...

:)

:wave: Welcome - it looks like you have an awesome collection to share...

The Hillman Hunter is one of my childhood favourites, I still need to add a Muira as nice as the Solido & Polistil (make do so far with childhood Corgi) and I still have almost everything to learn about 1/43 1970s (and early 80s) Japanese castings so I am looking forward to your posts!
