Thanks again guys

Melgar:  It's a 1959 Alfa Giulietta Spider. It was my first car. I paid $700.00 for it using money I made from two paper routes.   Its only worth about a hundred times that today. That was in 1967, when I was still in high school. My father did not want me to buy it, because he did not think it would be very reliable.  Two weeks after I got it the timing chain broke. And rather than prove him right, I fixed the bloody thing (which is not trivial on an Alfa) under the cover of darkness.  It was the first car I ever worked on.  I learned a lot from that experience. Including how to read Italian.  

Lee and Tomlinson.. That is a Branchline Trains O Scale gas station, a wood kit, which I modified into the office:

1157

1159

1161

By the way, that Reventlow Scarab in the right hand garage is the only car on the lot I have not owned.  But I always wanted one. I am just a few several million dollars short.
