I can't say I recall my first model but the one that stands out the most was given to me Nov 11, 1974 I turned turned 10. It was model of something called a 1973 Porsche 911RS. It was molded in yellow and looked similar to my mom's VW bug but cooler and had a little thing sticking up off the back. A few months later in the spring of '75 I was walking to school and sitting in front of the local surf shop was a brown car that looked like my model car. No thingy sticking up and the roof came off and it had a surfboard in the front passenger seat.

I bought that 911 from the owner of the surf shop in 1984 I still have it.
