Hot Rod toys

I was wandering around a junk shop on Saturday and found this gem. Just the right amount of preowned patina. Paid $75.

 

Good score. Wish I had found it first....................

 

That's a cool find. I also like the old tin Hot Rod toys. They made a lot of different ones. Here's a few of mine. But lets see some more! Ron....

 

This street roadster looks like it was run at Bonneville, then taken home and put into hibernation.

 

Lets see some more as I like this stuff...

 

when I was still working I had the boys in the tool room saw out a half dozen plexiglass windshields for the T roadster while they were building a plexi house for a gun drill job... gave them to guys with that toy... should have had 'em make me a couple dozen...

 

How about the Street Rod version.

 

A little bump to see a few more.

I remember that!Had one when I was a little kid!

 

got 3 Marx Hot Rods. the red one and the yellow one had a flint inside like a lighter and the red plastic motor sparkled when you pushed it down the floor. the blue one never had that feature..
the ones below that are about 3" long.

 

these two were Japanese made brothers.. Tonka copies sort of.

 

Tonka ?/ Nylint /Buddy L..

 

Here, if you want to take your Nylint camping.

Paul, who made the red Jag without a hood?Very cool!

 

I had to beg a bit for this one a few years ago but my son came through. The scallop decals got pealed off right away and I still get it out and run it once in a while.

 

This was my first HOT ROD. I got it for Christmas back in the 60's.{ The black one that is.} I painted it probably a haft a dozen times. Played with, and changed the motor too. I found the red one at a swap meet years ago. That's what it would have looked like under the Christmas tree. It's made by the MARX toy company. It was my Best Christmas EVER! Ron.....

 

I think giving toy hot rods to little kids will keep the tradition going. Great thread @CadMad

 

Saunders,
they did come with a hood but,
mine was missing when I got it.

 

Wow some really cool looking old toy's.
Wish I had saved more of my old toy's because they sure bring back some wonderful memories.

My 5 year old found this at Pomona swap for 2 bucks. He talked the guy down to 50 cents.
Not sure how old, but I like it.

Does that RPU have a spark generator in the clear red engine block?
