Desert Island Cars Vol. 7: Bertrand's Top Ten

Bertrand from Sixty Four Ever Diecast - France

I had to leave behind so many manufacturers and automotive brands that I love...

So, here we are; on the boat to the desert island!!

I have no order of preference

First, never before out of the box.

M2 Machines 1956 Ford COE & 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser

As soon as I saw this set, I knew it would be mine. At all costs!

It's the perfect representation of the automotive production from the fifties.

GreenLight 1941 Stacey David's Gearz Sgt. Rock

What a casting! What delicacy! What a color!

I had to order it twice. The first package never arrived...

GreenLight Blues Brothers' 1974 Dodge Monaco "Bluesmobile"

I cannot count the number of times I've seen this movie.

CM's 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16

Simply the favorite car from my childhood <3

Minichamps 1974 Porsche 934, No.12, Jägermeister

A Porsche. Orange. By Minichamps. What more can I say?

Oversteer 2015 Nissan GT-R

A collector worthy of the name must have one.

There, I said it! :D

Kyosho 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser

I love its retro-futuristic line.

I had to choose one from the four colors offered by Kyosho, but I still need the others!

M2 Machines 1955 Chevrolet 210 Hardtop 265

Chevy '55, '56 & '57: Felt like a slap the first time I saw it in person!!

One of my favorite American cars.

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo 1976 Toyota TownAce Van 1300 Deluxe

My parents' van we used to take on holidays...

Many great memories!

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo 2013 Nissan IDx NISMO Tokyo

An incredible model! Great talent of Tomytec on display!

Now, I weep for all the miniatures I've abandoned...

Minicar Pics 1/64:  I don't know about others, but I really enjoyed the setup like the "boat" to desert island & weeping for the cars left behind.  I think the participants on these desert island cars can relate to degree.  I certainly can!  lol

There are two cars on this list that actually earned nominations to my list as well.  Minichamps Porsche + M2 Ford COE/Mercury Turnpike.  Couple of very special releases to be sure.  GL 1941 Army truck with dual Browning mounted in the back, I doubt anybody from our group even have one.  What a presence!

As you can see, Bertrand have very little to no bias when it comes to collecting.  If you want to see real diversity, please check out his blog Sixty Four Ever.  You'll see why I'm such a fan!
