_______Neat Little 50's Roadster_______

Here is a pic of an "All American Hot Rod".......Approx 10" long die cast aluminum made in the 50's or 60's.

Anyone collect 50's hot rod toys?

 

that looks like a tether car...does it have an engine? I wish i had one of those.

 

That thing is bad*** is the a name anywhere on it saying who made
it??

I have a blue one, and I have a Thimble Drome teather car with a diesel in it. Dean

 

Yup. I have a Cameron Rodzy (similar to your All American, but smaller) and some tin toy roadsters. Too late for pix tonight.

 

There was one of those for sale at the last R/C swap meet I went to in Flint. I am still kicking myself in the *** for being to cheap to buy it. They were asking $350, and it was in new condition with the box.

 

I have one, Sweetie let the neighbor kids play with it one day long ago, they broke and lost the grille.

No headlights on mine.

Original color is black.

It is a tether car, but not powered.
It was a prize for perhaps ten new, newspaper subscriptions.

Deal was you tied on some sturdy string, went to the basketball courts and gave it a whirl your own self.

At least until you got so dizzy you couldn't stand up anymore....

 

Can you post a picture of the underside of that?

Coupster, $350.00 and new-in-the-box is a great deal. There is a very big market for this kind of stuff.

 

I collect most everything, but I really like 50's hot rod toys, especially japanese tin toys.

Here's some of my stuff.

I saw a tether car sell for $ 12,000 a few years ago at the Toledo show. Of course, it was a national record holder from the 30's and completetly hand made and in mint condition. It was powered by a .61 motor, I forget the brand, probably a Dooley. Wish I took a picture of it.

anyone know where I can get some plans or scratch build instructions for one of these babies? I'm looking for a project for me and my boy.

 

I only have one
I'll trade for an All American Rod

 

That's identical to my diesel powered one. I'll have to take some pictures. Dean

 

I've collected some Matchbox cars from the 50-60's.

 

O.K. Dean
Let's see it

 

Hey Dennis, I was wondering when the "miniature gas engine racer" interest would hit here.

 

I collect a little !!!!
