A very nice thing to do with your collection is to create a nice way to display them. Quality display cases, with glass fronts and interior lights and such, can be a beautiful addition to any home. If you are handy with building as well as with your cars, you could build and sell them to others at the shows, in the paper, and so forth. Every labor of love could use a good display station.
