Brass Era Cars

Started this new line in my diecast collection: BRASS ERA CARS. Brass Era Cars as stated in the WikiPedia: The automotive Brass Era is the first period of automotive manufacturing, named for the prominent brass fittings used during this time for such things as lights and radiators. It extends from the first commercial automobiles marketed in the 1890s until about World War I. The term "Brass Era automobile" is a retronym for "horseless carriage," the original name for such vehicles, which is still in use today.

Really fascinated with form and empjasis on beauty rather than I suppose aerodyanamics and maybe economics.

Most of these models are Matchbox Model of Yesteryears. Most of these I got from Ebay.
