That's really cool. I had no idea they existed.I like the bigger cars. 12" is a great size. I wish I could find a 33-34 ford coupe or roadster that size. They are all 24/25 scale.
wow.. that T is super cool.. never seen one in my travels and I am always looking for car related toys.
There was an inexpensive large scale '34 5-window made back in the '60s-'70s. It may have been made by Gay Toys or Processed Plastics, both of whom made cheap large-scale plastic toys. It was not an accurate model of a '34 -- no interior, windows, or engine -- but the body shape was pretty good. Try eBay.
Yep, I have a couple of them. But your right, they are not very detailed. I'm hoping for something nice like a Monogram 1/8th scale like the '32. The big dream would be to find a pressed steel from back in the day at a large scale. Guess that is a dream. Thanks, Tim (visible in the pic.)
With 34oz. wall paper below! Picked scraps out of the dumpster after painters were finidshed hanging it. Stuff is more durable than paint/drywall.
probably had a washing machine engine, looks like posed for Easter photos, cute and cool '29 Packard radiator mascot/hood ornament?
LOL. It is called using every square inch you have. There are still two cars in that small garage (well, maybe one and a half!). See the last pic!
1/18 1939 Lincoln Zephyr made by "Signature" toys. It also has a convertible boot if you want to take the top off. Thanks for the compliments. I love to just sit out there with the dog and enjoy my junk.
Good idea. Hadn't thought about dropping it. But then I couldn't store the tonneau under the car! There are several of these in several different colors on that big E auction site if you guys are so inclined!
Here are a few I recently picked up. Don't know much about the fenderless rod, I assume it's 1960s Japanese.
Super cool! Can we have better photo of the blue sedan as well? Would any of these tin toys be for sale by any chance?
funny you would ask if they were for sale, those pictures were actually used for my ebay listing, I was selling them to pay for the blue one which set me back $331.00 here's a couple pics of the blue one, this is the first blue one of these I have ever seen. most are red. being from 1941 these are pretty rare as metal toy production stopped for WWII.
I assume these are Wyandottes. I marvel at the sheet metal forming on their products. They ingeniously developed a flat pattern and then, using progressive dies, formed fender shapes and design details, and subsequently bent the sides down to complete the car body in a single stamping. I don't think anybody would (or could) do that today.
they went out of business in 1956, I wonder what happened to all the dies... I would like to see the process they used on this one. this is some thick steel too, they got it from the auto plants in Detroit.
Yeah, I have the smaller size of that boattail design. I've kinda visualized the flat pattern for the steel, and it's amazing to consider how it folded up to become that shape.
