Like Christmas morning (Vintage Toy)

My Dad had been a pretty good model builder at one time, and at one point he gave me some cars he built in the early 60s. I know one of them was a "Squarebird". Being just a kid, I played with them and they got destroyed. One memory that always sticks with me was when he walked me through building my first kit; I think it was just a snap-fit. It was a VW Rabbit and it was designed so you could either build it stock or custom. He asked which I wanted and I told him stock, and to this day, maybe 30 years later, I wish I said custom! I think he would have liked it better that way!

The few that I completed were pretty sloppy. As an adult I set out to build a couple but didn't get far.
