He used to go to all the public functions...especially the picture theaters. And always carried a Sugar Bag to collect empty bottles and cans.
His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney. Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him, but it was discovered he was very talented and only sold the empty bottles and some of the cans.
After he died in 1998 (aged 86) His large collection of Model Cars he made from the Aluminum Cans was discovered.
Some of his collection ----
Amazing!

2004 Chevrolet Nomad
Chevrolet Nomad, 2004
The Nomad is a true two-fer in terms of concepts. The original Nomad
that Chevrolet produced between 1955-57 was such a powerful design that
it has spawned numerous concepts, two recently.
Chevrolet Nomad, 2004
The second recent Nomad debuted in 2003 alongside the Pontiac Solstice
and Saturn Sky. All three were said to be concepts, with the Pontiac
hitting the market just ahead of the Saturn. The Nomad carried the day
for Chevrolet, and shared many of the same features of the 1999 Nomad and the original.
Chevrolet Nomad, 2004
With the success of the Solstice and Sky (and their Opel sister
vehicle), production of these Kappa-platform vehicles is maxed out.
However, if demand wanes, the Nomad would slot right in to Chevrolet’s
current line up.

Chevrolet Nomad, 1999

of a sporty coupe and a pickup truck. Nomad is a driver’s car with
versatility, sporting a V8 engine, independent rear suspension,
shift-by-wire transmission, retractable roof and an extended load floor.

Chevrolet Nomad, 1999
The 1999 version is built on fourth-generation Camaro/Firebird
mechanicals. Reminiscent of previous Camaro and Firebird "wagons," the
Nomad features a practical tailgate, generous cargo room, and
performance an SUV can only dream of. Looked at from the front, more
than a hint of first-generation Corvette puts a pure Chevrolet face on
the car.
Chevrolet Nomad, 1999
Timing for this Nomad couldn’t have been worse, as rumors of the Gen IV
F-Bodies (Camaro/Firebird) death were all but confirmed. At the 1999
Detroit Auto Show where the car debuted, the car was virtually ignored
by GM’s PR staff who didn’t want to give the concept too much play as
its chance for production was zero.
