Howard Cohen Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Last week I stopped in to visit a local car museum. They had a few magazines and I bought some old 'Car Model' mags from 1967/8/9/70/71 era. I was going through them when I turned the page and saw the ad for the 'International Car Model Association' membership...with my name and address filled in! Yes, I bought back my magazine from 50 years ago! This time I am keeping it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 My ICMA membership number was 11. I still have all of my correspondence from them and the decal is on my wooden model box. Nice to finally know someone else who was a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The number would assume another significance in the mid-'70s, but of that we will not speak more. ) I still have my decal on my metal parts bin with the little plastic drawers. (I still occasionally take some 50-yo parts out of that thing and USE them on a model to this day!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several of those boxes and even though I have sorted through them umpteen dozen times I still find usable stuff." Waste not-want not" my mom would have said.
