What did you do today non-detailing related?

Wait a minute, you have Kmart in Australia? We don't have any KMarts here in the US anymore, how do you have them there where I never even knew there were any?

I'm pretty sure our Kmart is a different company to yours, the big company that owns them also owns our Target brand, and Bunnings, which is our version of Home Depot.

I used to collect 1:18 scale diecast cars until I ran out of room. I think I have about 120.

So those are the bigger ones, right? I once thought it would be neat to buy one or some of those, but knowing me and how I love to collect things in sets and seeing the prices those ebay auctions would sometimes draw I made the decision to not get involved. Rich mans game. Lol.

They are a bit bigger. I got the majority of mine for $10 to $15 a piece at the time from BJs Wholesale Club. Of course now they're more expensive. I only splurged on special interest cars.

I've heard of having a garage for your car collection...but not needing a garage for your Hotwheel car collection, lol

This stupid video…. [I say that jokingly]
This is the video that got me so excited 1 day that I felt like buying something..

[turns out this man is actually the owner of the detailing product company that makes Brown Royal wheel cleaner] I love that wheel cleaner.

1978 Cadillac Seville - YouTube

I somehow wound up buying this brochure for the same year, 1978 Cadillac Seville. I thought it was super cool how people actually sold NOS of something like this. That was enough to get me instantly hooked…



Within that 1st week I had ordered like 9-10 more brochures and they were from the 70’s & 80’s and still brand new. I loved it.
About 500 brochures and way more money than I should’ve spent… 1 day I realized I could’ve bought a Cadillac, a nice 1 too! Damn.lol.
That’s when I stopped.

I looked it up, it was originally a joint venture between our Kmart and an Australian company (1968), but the US company sold its interest in 1994. Apparently we still have 2 Kmarts here in the US (it was 3 until a couple of weeks ago).

I have a few of these as well, over here they are between $30 and $50 generally. Also only ones of special interest to me. My favourite is one of my FJ Cruiser of course.

$30 to $50 now sounds right. I guess I’m glad I ran out of room!

Eldo, I had a friend that was going to buy a Seville like that...or a boat. I told him to buy the Seville, he bought the boat. He probably used the boat a half dozen times, and spent tons of money docking it, winterizing it, etc. He should have listened to me. Those were cool cars.

That’s great. Sounds like how I came up on my ads and alot of my brochures. I was constantly on Ebay like a hawk just waiting for new listings to appear and loved scooping up rare stuff especially for great deals. It’s a thrill. Lol

So do you have some Cadillacs? Any pics? Would love to see how they are.
