Lloyd Grimm was a U.S. Marshall, If you are old enough to remember Wounded Knee in South Dakota, Lloyd was the US Marshall shot & paralyzed. A collector of some cars (FAO Swartz mostly) he purchased some fabulous German Mfg. cars Germany US Zone etc.. After his injury the collection just grew & grew – nearly 600 CARS INCLUDING Dealer PROMO CARS + Friction Cars and then the Danbury & Franklin Mint cars .
THE DANBURY & FRANKLIN WERE EARLY PURCHASES WHEN THEY 1ST CAME OUT They were a lot of money & still are but the quality & detail is unreal. We did not wash nor clean these cars so you are going to get some Dust be did not want to do anything to damage them. He did not keep the boxes, he was not a collector – he had them out to enjoy.
Of course we cannot list every car in this collection in this medium, however, at our website, you will indeed find all the cars and everything we can tell you about them. The friction cars are dated and sometimes the writing has just faded - they are over 60 years old. Enjoy, if you are a car NUT – I owned my 1st Model T in 1963 and you pride yourself on knowing what every car was back in the 50's - 60's – 70's ( I was one of them) please feel free to go through the automobiles, identify & date them – WE TRIED - I will share the info when – Thanks for reading while an old guy thinks about his past.
