An American pop art icon, I like the fact that I have a sunspot in the upper right corner of this picture, it gives it a sense of being there....
Another D.I.Y. Matchbox issue for 2019. Do It Yourself if you want some much needed detailing to front and rear panels to create the model it should really be from the factory!
My only issue with this 2019 recolour of the Matchbox VW Caddy Van and indeed many of its previous releases, has been its lack of detailed lights and badges plus of course unsightly unpainted grey plastic! With a bit of effort the front and rear bumper panels were painted a more realistic looking black with contrasting chrome for lights and badges.
A much more pleasing result which helps show off this casting for the accomplished item it always was! Part of Case C/K sourced recently from the U.S.
Mint and boxed.

Beautiful Caddy Convertible. Way too long to fit in the frame, LOL. I put topless in the tags, so I bet this pic gets a lot of hits.
This is a new edit of a photo of my 2015 Cadillac ATS Sedan 2.0 Turbo I shot back in February. I removed the distractions from the background and gave the image a shallow DOF look to it.

"The VW Rabbit Pickup was a unique small truck and produced great mileage figures for two key reasons. Unlike the competing Toyota Hi-Lux, Datsun (now Nissan), Mazda, Chevrolet Luv (Isuzu), and Ford Courier (Mazda), the Rabbit Pickup wasn't built on a true truck frame ... it was car based, in a manner somewhat similar to the Chevy El Camino. But it was the Rabbit Pickup's 1.6 liter diesel engine that made this little truck a penny pincher's delivery dream truck. While no speed demon, the 4-cylinder diesel put out plenty of grunt to propel the tiny light truck around town.
Although production of the Rabbit Pickup at the Westmoreland VW Plant ceased in 1982, VW built pickups (with the Caddy badge) in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, through 1992. VW continues to build pickups in South Africa.
The twenty-five year old VW Rabbit Pickup delivers nearly double the gas mileage of some of today's highest mileage pickups. Alas, VW stopped selling the pickup here in the States after selling through the domestically produced units. The company chose not to import the European- or South African-built pickups."

Probably the coolest Hot Wheels casting for a brief period of time before the Ford Escort came along to steal its thunder is the original VW Caddy pick-up. Slightly modded as you'd expect from Hot Wheels but still an excellent casting with some nice intricate detailing to the grille and lights. I panic bought quite a lot of these on a trip to Spain a few months ago only to return to retailers overflowing with em!! LOL. Has now already been replaced with a nice colour. Mint and boxed.

Once she was
the queen of the road.
now she is old and weary.
a survivor.
i wish had the
money to buy her,
the time,
and energy
to revive her.
i would paint her bright red.
i would her give white wall tires.
her hub caps would gleam.
her interior would be leather.
she would reign
as queen
of the road.
I would be young again, too.
i would wear a fedora,
a camel hair top coat,
gloves of suede
fine slacks,
and shoes.
all in shades of brown
wouldn't i be natty?
she would be the queen
i would be
the king!

One of the saddest stories of 2019, for me, is the fate of Caddy Lake Girl Guide Camp. Caddy turns 70 this year. And this fall, there was an announcement that the camp will close permanently. Caddy Lake Camp was a place where I, like many other Manitoban women, began to learn independence, teamwork, and a loving respect of the environment.
What guts me is that Caddy's closure was avoidable. This isn't a matter of shifting culture and declining enrollment: when regular camps run, they are full! Caddy's physical space is generally in great shape. Two capital projects are required: new drywall in the bathroom, and repairs to the foundation of the staff cabin. Those who run Caddy were not allowed to fundraise to pay for the repairs and were not allowed to run their regular programs this summer to generate revenue. Thus, the reason given for closing Caddy is financial.
I imagine one GoFundMe advertised to the camp's alumnae would have been enough to keep Caddy running for decades to come. But the people running Caddy weren't allowed even to attempt such a campaign. It seems as though the provincial Girl Guide council, based in Winnipeg, simply wanted to offload the responsibility of keeping the camp. 70 years on, I can only imagine how shocked the founders of Caddy Lake Girl Guide Camp would be to see their beautiful creation abandoned so cowardly.
In August, my sister and I visited the Caddy and had the place to ourselves. This photo is a view through a window into the lodge. I like the lonely and quiet mood to this, as it's how I felt that day: A place that should be filled with young, excited voices abandoned due to politics. I will have more in this series on Caddy in the weeks to come.
