Plastic Toy Hot Rods

Very cool!! I love old toys. They sure don't make them like they use to. My kids toys are all thin plastic made in china with no attention to deatail.

 

three Saunders, one for the Jalopy class, one for the Sports and one Roadster

 

Heres just a few. Can Am racer thrown in. Sorry bout pic size.

 

COOL STUFF GUYS!

Thanks for posting all your goods!
Yeah: Saunders, Marx, Auburn, all those toy cars were fairly cheap (when new) but so neat and detailed.

 

I was given this when I was a boy by my Grandma. In fact she gave me my nickname, I was her little Buddy. She bought this at a garage sale when I was about 4. I have had it ever since and it will be passed on to my boys when I leave this blue ball.

















Sorry for all the pics, but they just don't make em like this anymore. Completely unrestored and working perfectly.....I think of my Grandma everytime I look at it......

 

my two cents

 

While not vintage, I really liked the simplicity of these toy cars. I have a set of these hot rods on the way. Simple wood and plastic combo, all parts interchangeable.

Wow Jay, how can I get a job like yours? Do you need an assistant??

 

Here's a few of mine most are the Tootsietoys diecast from the early 60's.

 

Bud, that Buddy L firetruck is spectacular. I have looked for those at antique toy shows and nice ones are over $1000. Good job, grandma!

 

For your viewing pleasure. Some aren't really hot rods and some aren't plastic, but they're interesting and I hope they're aren't too o.t. here.

 

I pick those up now and then; the most amusing one has to be the one I got.. in a junkyard. Wish I'd gotten to it before they destroyed the '61 Rambler it was in, it's in three pieces, but I have pretty much all of it. Pretty much if it's a hot rod of some sort I try and add it to the collection.

 

I have had this thing forever and no idea how old it is as it has no writing or markings on it >>>>.

 

great post!
I seem to buy these whenever I see them too....

does anyone know if you can buy the "Monogram HOT ROD" store display and model in reproduction?

Here's some of mine posted on another thread

 

I just saw one in an antique shop in NH for $145.No box and missing the rollbar.A little faded too.

wow... cool stuff in that link^^^^

 

Thanks!

 

found this at a yard sale,mostly metal but some plastic.

 

here's an HO scale model of a NW drag racer's twin flathead powered nostalgia dragster that a master modeler friend of mine created....followed by the diorama he included it in.....

 

here's some of the toys I have collected over the years.

 

This is the best thread on toys that I've seen in a while.Keep the great pix coming!

 

I have it marked as well. A little to rich for me though. I would love to have it in my collection.

 

Marx made a tin version of this car, too, in about 1/18 size. I have one, but it's unfortunately misplaced somewhere.

 

I had to go out and buy this plastic dragster over the weekend. I am also watching some other plastic junk. hope this does not turn into an addiction.
