Hot Rod Toys

  1. That's one of the coolest pictures on the hamb. I have one of me in 1961 also. I'll try to find and post it. I have the flat top holding the camper truck. there's a model of a 61 ford on the floor. Still have those but not in the greatest condition .I played hard with them. If you look close bottom left you can see my 58 Ford boat carrier in both photos

    You've got to have a filling station for all of those cars. This one is NIB from the 1960's and is shown under the Christmas tree in the garage with several other vintage toys from my youth. It's never too late to have a happy childhood!

    49ratfink, that's a nice collection of Wyandotte cars and trucks. We have quite a few, I'll have to shoot some more pictures.

  11. I think I'm the only 8 year old here, ha. ha. Doesn't anyone like or collect old HOT ROD TOYS ? The big red T bucket I got for Christmas in 1964 maybe what got me started liking HOT RODS. The now Black primed one ,is the one I've had for fifty years. Its been painted many times, purple with white Lace is one I remember. It would have looked like the red one when under the Christmas Tree in 64. POST some stories of Christmas past. 020.jpg 028.jpg 031.jpg 029.jpg

    Yes, count me among the 8 year olds. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional! I love my toys!

  16. But this is the HAMB and postings should follow the rules of the HAMB, if not this thread will probably end up with a lot of pictures of the newest Hot Wheels, etc. I'm sure that's not what Ryan wants. So when the Hot Rod toy was made does matter.

  18. Thanks carcruse , most of my toys are old like me. I will only post ones made pre 65, Thanks. I for one preach pre 65 style for our rods so it makes sense that the toys would be the same.

    Got a few. Old and new. My latest. These Durant plastics/Tootsie Toy 1934 Ford "Victoria's" are plentiful and cheap. The " is there for a reason! Got this one delivered to my door for 10 bucks. Kinda goofy with a 4 X 4 stance and tires that hang way out. Twenty minutes with a cut off wheel, drill, pair of dikes, and a utility knife and TA DUH! Much better. The lovely MRS. 99 says " cant you leave anything alone?" NOPE! 34 plst hi 1.JPG 34 plst low.JPG Have a Great Easter all.

  21. Looks much better! I have a couple of those. You got me thinking, it would be fun to make a Lake car from one of them. I will post it here when I do. Until then, IMG_0451.JPG IMG_0448.JPG 059.jpg here's a couple more toy HOT RODS Ron...
     
  22. Good morning! Carlisle is almost here. I like to go and look for a cool HOD ROD toy. Hay, I never grew up. Its a little like Christmas in April. ha. ha. The fun is in the hunt. Sometimes I may just find an old body, that I can Hot Rod. Anyone else like doing this too. Ron... 20160113_131139.jpg 074.jpg
