Die-Cast Models

Shelby Cobra Concept Die-Cast

Die-cast models always grab the attention of SVT enthusiasts. Sometimes, our members go to great lengths in trying to find a matching die-cast for their vehicle. Others have collected them over the years and have a stunning collection for their dens, workshop or family room.

Common die-casts can be found in many toy stores or auto enthusiast shops. For the more conspicuous ones like the Shelby Concept shown here from the Ford Collection, we suggest contacting the Parts Department at Dixie Ford.

Ford-Branded Merchandise

The Ford Collection consists of a wide array of merchandise offered by the Ford Motor Company. From shirts with your favourite Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle, to a matching umbrella, or a warm jacket to keep you dry during some of our outdoor events, there's something for everyone at the Ford Collection.

You can download their catalog here (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

SVTOA National members now receive 20% off Ford Collection orders. Please check the Sponsors section of the SVTOA National website for details.

Tire Stand - Canadian Tire ($39.99)

Tire Stand

So, you got your winter wheels lying around in the garage. Or, maybe it's your set of track tires you have for the SVTOA Redline Rendezvous. Aside from looking pretty, they are also gathering dust and taking up a lot of room.

Here's an excellent way of keeping your wheels from resting on the floor and avoding the ire of someone on your case for messing up the floor. This tire stand allows you to store four tires upright, thus conserving much needed space in your garage, shop or basement. Spacers prevent each wheel from touching each other. It also comes with a dust cover that goes over the wheels.

 

Seasonal Tire Totes - Canadian Tire ($24.99)

We first learned of these things from CanadianDriver.com. These nylon pieces of luggage for your wheels are great with velcro ties and carry handles. They're advertised to accomodate a wide variety of tire sizes, so they can handle your car or SUV with ease. The other great thing is that they are washable too!

Idea: For those who use separate sets of wheels for On Track events, this is a great way of holding your track wheels. Not only will it be easier to carry. It won't make a mess of your trunk, bedliner, or interior when toting them back and forth.

Car Wash Gift Certificates - Sunoco

A clean car is a happy car. Plus, you feel better driving it.

If you're really stuck for gifts for the auto enthusiast, or need some stocking stuffers, Sunoco usually offers gift packs of car washes at a signficant amount of savings than individual car wash purchases.

Don't forget to use your CAA membership card to get up to 2% off your CAA membership.

Remote Starters

Remote starters are always seen as a luxury. One touch of a button, and you get into a warm and cozy vehicle, and off to your destination. There are many systems on the market, including those available from the large big box outlets and Ford. Shop around for the best prices and see what is compatible with your vehicle.

Happy gift giving.
