Battered, Broken and Still Standing

Today's photoblog is a follow up to my last one regarding my Mom working in the Lego Model Shop during the 1960s and 70s in Loveland, Colorado. While helping her to clean out a closet this morning I discovered four Lego car models that she had kept. Even though they are dusty, broken and missing a few parts it's evident to see the amazing artistic skill she possesses. How can you create a model car with such detail using little plastic bricks? These cars still look pretty cool after 50 years of being played with by kids and grandkids. I'm hoping to donate them to Lego though I seem to be having trouble speaking or contacting a real person and not a BOT. God's love and blessings to all, chris All images were created with a Canon EOS Rebel T1i and a Tamron 28-200mm lens.

    Very cool, Chris. The second one has a hint of the Munsters - it just needs the front longer (maybe a combination of 2 and 3). Do you think they might be worth something?? If you don't donate them to Lego then maybe a toy museum or the Smithsonian might want them, or is that too far fetched?

    Those are really cool and how cool that your mom worked there. I agree with Barb, maybe the Smithsonian or a Toy Museum. There is a Toy Museum in Kansas City, just FYI.
