Art & Inspiration Cars that look like toys.

way to go !!! but show us more of yer VAST COLLECTION please..

 

Jealousy can be a ugly thing.

 

Not really jealousy I can’t remember for sure if it was him but I think he’s upset because he had posted some horrendous ugly piece of crap that had some sort of helmet thing on it.
It was deleted as was appropriate.

As far as I’m concerned the zingers and everything else Mark owns is totally appropriate for the forum.

 

This 1940 Ford Coupe looks like a model.

 

A neighbor of mine continued to call my coupe a little toy untill I took him for a ride. He then said SH%T!! This thing is serious! I laughed and said you have just experienced a vulgar display of power. Oh yea. In a little toy.

 

Now THAT'S friggin' cool.

 

The angle of these drone photos of my Chrysler kinda make it look like a toy.



And my A looks like a toy, because it is one.

 

Often when I see really clean restorations of old 4x4 trucks like swept line Dodges or NAPCO Chevys I think they look like old Ertl-type toys but never share that with the owners for fear of misunderstanding.

 

If it looks like a toy, you did it right.

 

My Bantam toy

 

We pontificate over hot rods that look like models and muse over models that look like real hot rods.
Naw, we don't like this stuff.

 

A lot of it has to do with the angle of the photo

 

@blowby - That is indisputable!

 

I love this thing, but I have sat in one, and I do not know where you put your legs! (BTW, I own a Bantam Riviera.)

My Willys is a total cartoon. My dream 60 years ago was to drive a Gasser. Bought it in '64, finished it (mostly) in '95 has been on-again/off-again daily driver since. Never been on a race track.

 

I guess this qualifies too.

Holy hot wheels !

 

I built the 1:1 Hot Wheels I always wanted!

 

I may be late to the party but I'm watching a rerun episode of American Pickers on TV, and they're at the house of a fellow I think in New Jersey who has several Zingers like Moriarity's cars - a VW, a dune buggy and a rail. They aren't talking about them (they're just in the background of the scene) so I don't know the story about them.
