Wife's aunt & uncle deliver land yachts

[Mike]

My wife's aunt & uncle were up today, and brought with them some old models and promos that he and my father-in-law had built as kids to potentially have new life breathed in to them. Cool factor land yachts!

Oh wow, those are sooo cool!! I'd just clean them up as good as I could, reattatch pieces, then display them, but that is just me!

I am with Dave ...don't kill the history

Man that's some stuff out of a time capsule. I am thinking clean and display.

When Bob Peath passed away I ended up with his flying car. All I did was wipe it down with 50% alcohol and wax it.

You might want to ask them if they'd want one rebuilt? Luckily the one with the most missing pieces, the 59 Retractable, has been reissued a bunch and you may be able to dig up a gluebomb donor for wheels, windshield, hood and grille somewhere if you don't already have those bits in your stash.
That'd be a hard choice though, which do you rebuild, which do you leave as is?
