The Phil Davis Collection
<---- 16 ---->

supersize this pic | see the rest of this great collection


Phil Davis has one of the best private collections of cool 60s/70s toys that you'll ever see. And he's dedicated a room just to enjoy it all! He has many vintage Hot Wheels, all of Tom Daniel's original show rods, every "Odd Rods" sticker ever made, and tons of other stuff. He also has those scary Aurora monster models from the 60s--masterfully painted by his wife Brooke.
A special thanks to the Davis family for hosting me on the first night of the Odyssey.

To the left: Be sure to look at the "other side" of Phil's trophy room to see his 8-track collection, Beatlemania, original Schwinn Bicycles and Mattel Hot Wheels.
