That's a beautiful truck and a good story to go with it, Curt. (I complimented Pepperidge Farm on their chocolate chunk cookies once, and got a coupon for a free package. Needless to say, they are gone, unlike your tractor trailer).
Here's one of the odder cars of history (but a big seller) - a Citroen 2CV. It's by Maisto and I believe it is about 1/50 scale. I bought it around 30 years ago.
