Cool pics and perspective. Im not a fan of the stripes on the C7 from eye level, but from above at this angle they look really good.

Don't you just want to grab it and roll it around? varoom, varoom!

Thanks for posting. It reminded me of my first toy cars. My brother and I didn't have many toys so when I did get a new one it was cherished. I still have my first cars that I bought on my own.

First was a Tootsietoy Ford hot rod from ~67 I bought at the local Ben Franklin for 10 cents. Probably because my dad had Model T's.

The Matchbox police car and ambulance I bought at Niagara Falls on a trip in 68. I think they were 50 cents each, Canadian of course.

Then came the treasured Camaro. I'm not sure what year or how much, but it was rarely played with. Saved for special occasions. I guess I play the same way with the C7. I had to do some digging but rolled them out again. Silently this time.

Yeah, and one of the cool matchbox cars that let you open the doors and hood.
