For a while, I had driven past a blue 1950-ish Chevy Panel Truck that resides next to a barn rusting near where I live. I saw the words NEW Hobby painted on the side, and thought that it meant both the person had a mew hobby and NorthEast Wisconsin. But soon, I found the truth. It was staring me in my face, but I never made the connection until one day I happened to be driving on a street I don't usually venture onto, but has an autoart shop near it. anyways, I noticed a business with a certain name, NEW Hobby Shop! I proptly walked in and noticed that the place was FILLED with model cars, die-casts of every kind, scale, color, and many other things. But one thing that caught my eye was a model of a 1950 Chevy panel truck on the desk. I knew I'd found the right place. The shop also sells models of their retired truck in the form of coin banks, shown in the photo provided by NEW Hobby Shop. I've bought quite a few of my die-casts from them since then, and it just shows that project hunting may lead to unexpected places (in that autoart place I mentioned earlier, I was checking out a cheap buick and chevelle project when I saw the name and adress of the autoart place on a trailer in the back of the property).
