Promos galore!

The Dog House Garage recently received a large consignment order of promotional 1:24-scale models. Most are Corvettes, but there is also an assortment that includes Vipers, Camaros, Chevy trucks and Suburbans, Tauruses (Tauri?), and a Mustang or two. All are very reasonably priced. Promotional models were originally produced for auto dealers to give out to well-heeled prospective customers. Over the years, these replicas have become a hot collectible commodities. Some are original issues; a few are re-releases. Shoot us an email if you're looking for something in particular.

1, 2, 3... red light!

There's something incredibly cool about using light to decorate a place. It grabs your attention, makes you think something really special is happening. And if you've got an automotive thing going on in your man cave, den, garage, dorm room...what have you... we've got a find for you! Imagine brightening up your place with a traffic signal! Done in satin black with randomly flashing red, amber, and green lights, these traffic-stopping beauties have lenses on three sides. The large 12.25-inch version can be wall-mounted or stood on a shelf. The 8-inch model features a pedestal base but can be mounted on a wall. The Dog House Garage also carries a 10.5-inch "ballet" version done in hot pink with white frosted lenses that have dance-themed art -- in pink, of course. We'll go out on a socially insecure limb in calling this the "girly" variation, perfect for dorm room, dance studio, slumber party, or even for the garage that house the lady-of-the-house's Mustang GT! If you're more of the one-track mind type, why not try our 9" railroad crossing sign which features red and green lights? All of our decorative traffic signals have sturdy plastic construction; all are corded. So shed some light on your happy place with any of these blinking beauties!
