This is a funny old chat on a model boat site to be chatting about, but i'll add a little to it, so here goes!!! A nice selection of classics there, If Santa wants to bring me that beautiful white Studebaker for Christmas then that would be great. She could keep my Rover company. Bearing in mind that the Rover company bought a Studebaker and styled the P4 on it, they even went as far as taking the Stud'y off of it's chassis and putting the Rover chassis that they had made. My old Rover will be 60 years old on the 20th of January.

Have a photo of the buggy on my phone - bit too small though - will try and get the original from my son in Seattle - its candy apple red and pinstriped. At the moment it has its canopy on because of the rain so not at its best. Bit faded after 40years of course and has many scratches and dings - but it still goes . Still used on back-roads/tracks where you would not want a pristine vehicle........
Body was made locally - fibreglass of course - called a Badger.
Heres the small photo - just after it got stuck in the dunes - Range Rover trying to pull it out got stuck too.........

I believe the blue convertible is a Hillman Minx. Did a little googling on the Singer as it sounded familiar, turns out the Singers and Hillmans were cousins, all part of the Rootes group. IIRC, the Hillmans owners came from California and brought the Hillman with them. I’d like to see a pic of your buggy, I’ve wanted a Myers Manx style buggy since I was a kid, in metal flake blue.😀

Very nice car Cash - always did like Studebakers . The Hawks always drew admiration and a bit of envy in our little town. My dad owned a Commander when I was very young - traveled over 2000 miles (one way) on holiday every year in it .
Is the little blue soft-top next to the flamed hot-rod a Singer Gazelle? All in all a very interesting collection of cars. Nice Thunderbird.
I now only have a 40 year old ww2 Willys Jeep type bodied VW beach buggy - still fun though.
Looks like you had a good lot of toys collected too - make a lot of kids happy - as Nerys said its a very good thing to do.

It’s a Hawk. Same thing as the Silver Hawk, they just dropped the Silver off the name about the same time the Golden Hawk was discontinued.
We have a group of bikers here do the same thing, it’s a huge deal. Saw them on the highway one time heading to drop off toys and it was a long line of bikes.

Hi Cash - is that a Stud. Silver Hawk ? Fellow in the town I grew up in had one - then traded it in on a Golden Hawk. Owned a Service Station (fuel & repairs) - had a full grown Leopard in a tiny cage on the premises as an attraction - thankfully was forced to hand over the Leopard for release into a Game Reserve........
Its a great thing you and your fellow members do - we have a group of bikers who do much the same thing for the little village of Stanford 20k odd away - many needy kids there. They ride out from Cape Town collecting toys and more bikers on the way - quite a sight to see almost a hundred bikers descend on a small village.......
Love the cars - always wanted a Hot Rod too........

Hi y’all. For those of you that don’t know, my other hobby is automotive. I’ve always liked cars, mostly classics and antiques, but there’s a few modern cars I like too. Anyway, I run with a group of people that meet every Saturday at Rockfish restaurant in McKinney to have breakfast, talk, poke fun at each other and generally talk cars...but one Saturday a year, we have a Toy Drive for needy children. Everybody in the group gives generously, and we have a cash donation box for those that either forgot, or just for “drive by giving”. Old Santa showed up this year too! He told me his sleigh is in for repairs so....well, let’s just say there’s a good chance some people will hear the rumble of a Stude 289 instead of a clatter this Christmas Eve.😀
Here’s a few pics.
