		<title>latest update to site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally consolidated the retrobird diecast pages into one page. Now all the concept and 2002-2005 Thunderbird models can be found on that one page. It&#8217;s long and the lists have been divded into sections. There are thumbnail pictures with almost all of the models that you may click on to view them larger. I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Continental Mark II update and a 55 Tbird collectible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems that the European manufacturers still like the old Fords. Wiking came out with another color, maroon, and packaged it singlely so it&#8217;s available to buy on it&#8217;s own. They have changed the name though and now call it Ford Lincoln Continental. They have kept the same model #, 210. The base has also changed, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile. Two hot wheels earlier this year and nothing new since in the diecast department &#8211; that I am aware of. So finally posted my pewter page article. It will be updated with additional info but at least there is now a listing just for the pewter models. Also noticed that I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Hot Wheels &#8217;57 for 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heard from a friend that Hot Wheels had issued another &#8217;57 recently. Double checked on the Hot Wheels collector site and it seems to have made it&#8217;s first appearance there in mid-April. It&#8217;s just starting to show up on the shelves at the Walmarts in my area. This &#8217;57 is red with yellow flames, non-porthole [...]]]></description>

		<title>Continental Mark II update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year at about this time, discovered a new release for the Wiking Continental. Wiking had not had any new releases for this particular body style since the early 80s. The new release was a pearlescent lite blue, base was slightly changed but the trailer hook was still there. Then this morning received a note [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot Wheels 1957 Ford Thunderbird for 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m soo excited! HW came out with a new color 57 Thunderbird &#8211; and it almost matches my own 57&#8242;s paint job from the 70s &#038; 80&#8242;s though mine lacked the graphics details. It is a metallic Turquoise blue with white hardtop. Mine was painted 1969 Corvette LeMans Blue with a White softtop. It&#8217;s now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review of the Franklin Mint 1955 Thunderbird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s advertised as authentic to 1955 by F.M. however, after inspecting this model, it&#8217;s very inaccurate to the year it is supposed to depict. F.M seemed to cut corners when having this model made, using trim and interior pieces from their 1956 models. So here&#8217;s the list I&#8217;ve uncovered of the 1956 trim on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Rt 66 Memorabilia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This last spring was up in Guthrie, OK and stopped in a Love&#8217;s Truck Stop. Always browse the merchandise available and found several Rt 66 items that featured a red 55 Tbird. One was a deck of cards that uses graphics I&#8217;ve seen on other Rt 66 items in the past but the other two [...]]]></description>
