As one who is inevitably so late buying Christmas presents he ends up paying FedEx more for shipping than the cost of the gifts, it may seem odd that I would dare to mention the “X” word before the first snowflake even falls. But every so I often I spot something unusual that would make a fine gift from, or to, a car enthusiast and feel compelled to draw it to your attention. Thus this wooden model from Automoblox, a maker of heirloom quality toy cars, is one that may be worthy of advance holiday shopping. The company is launching a set of new vehicles, starting with a T900 pickup. After that comes something totally different from Automoblox: HR1, HR2 and HR3 hot rods complete with grilles, period-correct wheels, and sometimes an exposed engine; available, like the truck, in full-size and (very affordable) mini versions. Top of the line is a combination of both, with a truck, an HR2 hot rod and a trailer to pull it with. Note: The T900 and hot rod line is all-new and as of this writing prices have not been announced, so keep an eye on the Automoblox site.
