Around the time I was 7 or 8, I'd spend a lot of time racing my rubber roadsters around the oval rug in our house. Still haven't grown past that I guess.

I found this in some of my Mom's stuff. My brother and I playing with the wind up cars, Christmas 1956.

 

My old favorites besides models was the Aurora HO slot car tracks.... You could could still buy new A/FX style track sets from Tomy... Ebay is still listing Aurora-A/FX cars and track sets....

 

If you are ever in the south/central Ohio area near Springfield, OH stop by Grandpa's Garage. It's like an antique mall w/o all the girlie stuff. There are cars (antique, drag, street), motorcycles, car parts, books, magazines, petroliana, and of course toys.

I still build, race, collect slot cars. The bulk of my collection is HO, but I also have 1/32 and 1/24.

Auto World sells AFX HO slot cars. They have copied the Magna-Tracion, ThunderJet Tuff-One, and the Magna-Traction 4 gear chassis.

They also have remade a lot of the old AMT and MPC model kits.

Thanks Marty!
I already have some of the new HO slot cars from Auto World and the 3n'1 AMT kits.. The '62 Cat with the printed tires.. The '25 T coupe and the Double Dragster kit...

 

Any reason why the "Toys of Christmas past" thread got shut down????....

 

Here are a few of mine and after looking at some of the display cases in here thinking maybe I ought to get mine cleaned up!

The "Dune Buggy" looking ones are battery operated with a remote wire (tethered) control box. They have lead weights inside the chassis and when you hit the back button and than the front button the lead weights roll to the back and they pop wheelies and go forward on their rear slicks! They do this as long as you hold the forward button down!
