Unique Automotive - Charles E Snyder II
@uniqueautomotive.bsky.social
Purveyor of any, and all Unique Automotive advertising, lights, signs, diecast, and toys. I buy, sell, and trade all Unique Automotive items. But mostly, I just like sharing pics of my collection, and seeing what UA items everyone else has.
Next up for us…
Hearsefest in Fowlerville Michigan in just a few short weeks is next on the calendar. Always the 3rd Saturday in September, I’m sure that this year’s 24th annual event will be just as spectacular as they all have been!

Be there!
We will be.

Enjoy!

Just added a nice selection of Unique warning and safety signs to the collection. These are all straight out of Poland and are original industrial warning signs.

They’ll make a great addition to the Unique collection here!

Enjoy!

Just added these 5 Unique Automotive, diecast/small scale, pieces to the collection from this past weekend.

While antiquing we found these 5 pieces made by F&F Mold & Die out of Ohio. They were part of a series of cars offered by Post Cereal as mail in “rebates” in the 1960s(?).

Enjoy!

Gearing up here for the annual Professional Car Society Micro Meet held in Mt Airy Maryland next weekend (03/22/2025).

A celebration of collector cars in the middle of Winter with tables full of models, miniatures, and more!

What should I pull out of the showroom to take to Mt Airy?

Enjoy!

Just added this fun and Unique piece to the Automotive collection here.

This Bitty POP Rides figure of Deadpool and his chimichangas truck will make a very nice addition to the showcase right along side his full sized POP counterparts like the Tall Man.

Enjoy!

Recently added a few antique store finds to the Unique Automotive Toy collection.

Two vintage Midget Marx Cement Trucks, an ambulance by Matchbox, and another ambulance by Corgi.

The ambulances are both very nice additions, and I didn’t even know Marx had a Midget line until I saw these!

Enjoy!

A few more very interesting Unique Automotive pieces were recently added to the collection.

These James Cunningham, Son & Co blueprints were a pleasant auction win. I love the original unused Cunningham vellum that was included.

Enjoy!

Unique even for us!
I don’t usually collect matchbook covers, but you can find some Unique Automotive advertising sometimes.

The Truck Stop book was seen through the bag, thought I’d give it a try. Only 5 auto or transport matchbooks found, but found a few Funeral Home ones! Call it a win!

Enjoy!

We recently added a few more fun and Unique bits of Automotive literature to the collection.

This time, a stack of Ford Field magazines from 1946! I love the vintage ads, tech articles, and relevant stories of the times like the Ford callback after a 6 week shutdown due to a steel strike.

Enjoy!

A Unique group of vintage Ford News magazines from 1939 and 1941, recently acquired from an internet auction. Some very cool old ads, stories, and more. Love the Hormel story with the vintage Hormel truck! Visit the SPAM museum at the Hormel plant, if you haven’t already. It’s a must see! 👍🏻

Enjoy!

Just added a car full of Unique Automotive pieces to the collection. The vintage creeper, and NOS Wagner Lighting display are probably my favorites. What do you like?

Enjoy!
January 29, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Unique for sure!

I’ve always loved the Poison ☠️ Pinto from the day it was released in the mid 1970s. Who wouldn’t love a hot rodded, Ford Pinto, Wagon, right?

Recently released in this two pack with Rodger Dodger, it was a must have. They kept it very close to the original (last pic).

Enjoy!

Just set free a couple more Unique Automotive pieces.

This time, two larger scale, Monster Jam, Grave Digger trucks, by Spin Master.

I do love the details in the larger scale diecast, but boy do they take up space quickly! 😁

These will display nicely with their brothers in the showcase.

Enjoy!

We have a couple of fantasy station wagons today. Drift’n Break and Jack Hammer from the HotWheels Mainline series, and a most excellent Crush “wagon” from the HotWheels: Disney 100 Years set.

Enjoy!

Unique? For sure!
Automotive? Pretty close.

Picked up this Playmobile haunted house over the Summer as a cool backdrop to hearse toys I might want to display.

Found out Playmobile has people to go with their haunted house. Had to pick up the witch and vampire to go with the haunted house.

Enjoy!

Let’s add a few Unique vehicles from the Cars world today.

Wheeldell Lee, a cameraman from Cars 3. Adam Roadriguez, a rescue that appears in Cars 3. Hauling Ass, a Piston Cup racer from the first movie. Actually his name is Haul Inngas, but I can’t believe Disney let a name like that slide.
December 1, 2024 at 3:27 PM

Tri-Five Chevys are usually pretty “normal”, until you set them up for a little off road that is! These two Big Air BelAirs from HotWheels sure do fit the Unique category now that they’re set up for a little off road fun!

They were both recently added to the collection.

Enjoy!
