Q: Hi, Greg and thanks for your interesting car articles. I am a model car lover, and remember all the great model companies from the 1950s through today. I was wondering if you know of the heritage of these companies, including Jo-Han, AMT, Monogram and the others. I used to build these cars when I was a youngster, and still enjoy the hobby today although my eyesight is not as good as I'm now 76 years old. I know you like models, too, as I read your column on them a while back.
