I have a 2017 Ford GT (1:36), a Ferrari SF16-H F1 car (1:18), a Ferrari 488 GTB (1:18), a Jeep that I can't remember the scale of, an Audi R8 V10, and a bunch of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars, to name a few.
 
Franklin Mint 1/16-scale Kuzma Offy Agajanian #98 driven to 1952 Indianapolis 500 victory by my cousin Troy Ruttman.

The Kuzma was the last dirt/pavement dual use car to win at Indy, and it's on display at the IMS Musuem.

More trivia: Because the Indy 500 was then part of the world drivers championship, the Brickyard win made Troy the youngest Formula 1 winner for quite some time. Troy also competed in the 1958 French and German GPs and at the Race of Two Worlds at Monza.

Pictures don't do this model justice.
