Michelin Man Collection

I hope you enjoyed this look at another of my crazy collections. I have no commercial connection with Michelin. Other than having bought a few thousand dollars worth of tires over the years.


Cheers,

Cazalea

Absolutely breathtaking!! Bibendum is one of the greatest icons of advertising and a charming character as well. I am also very fond of Michelin tires in my cars. My wife says I got too many helmet divers and that I have a true obsession as I’m always try... 

I've bought thousands in tires over the years...

Where did you get this cool stuff? I've spent thousands on tires over the years. I never got a thing! Did you get these with your tire purchases?

No, for some reason Michelin didn’t ever make swag gifts

They gave or sold things to their own dealers, or you had to buy at the boutique in Paris. I started collecting it in the Eighties. Later in the Nineties you could buy from more sources, such as the HQ in England, or from a Michelin catalog in the US. But... 

Very cool!

Next time I'm in Paris I'll try to see if there are any boutiques.

Wow, really impressive collection

How long have you been on that and what is your oldest item?

How many collections do you have?

Would you say, you are a collection collector? For a while I collected phone books, did you too? Cheers, C.

This is an truly impressive collection, Mike

I've had this on my wall for quite some time. I believe it dates to 1911 or 1912. Have Michelins on my car, too. ...
