I guess my latest acquisition and an unexpected Christmas gift to myself fits in here . I don't have a good picture of it, so I'm stealing someone else's:

Neat Citroen, I presume?

DS19 Chapron to be exact. I've learned about them only recently and never seen one in the flesh, despite visiting the Netherlands a couple of times. It was offered by Citroen dealerships but actually made by a coachbuilder/dealer Henri Chapron, which made the process more complicated than necessary in the spirit of French automobile I guess Whole assembled DSes with some structural changes went to Chapron from the factory only to be cut and reassembled again as cabriolets. Original Chaprons are so expensive nowadays that people continue to make the conversions. The side view of the roofless DS sitting low on its hydropneumatic suspension is - in my hunble opinion - one of the best silhouettes in the history of automobile.

I have a thing for oddball 90's supercars, as in the non-Ferrari/Lambo/etc kind (although I do love the more mainstream supercars). I also like models of trucks, both normal and commercial. Here are a few examples of some of the oddball stuff that I honestly never thought would get made in 1/18:

Spark Dauer Porsche 962LM Road Car:

Oh noes. I actually started looking for them the second I read this 😁 It's gorgeous. I learn a lot about cars from the models I stumble upon here so I'm not at all surprised, especially in this case. This Dauer (and its sister Koenig C62) is probably the only actual street-legal prototype race car to date.

@fnbadaz06 this C6 is sooooo clean, IMO the best generation of Vette styling-wise. SS not bad either
