tigersdad Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Since it's in the 70's here in Marin (North end of the Golden Gate Bridge) I thought I would bring Eleanor (my 1932 Buick 8-86) out for a drive and stopped by a friends ranch where he stores his collection of automobilia. He has everything ever made for every year, make and model of car. Including toys from the early years. Looking up all you see are planes and airships overhead. Thought it might be fun to share a fraction of his collection. Edited January 30, 2015 by tigersdad (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Lepak 35725 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 INCREDIBLE!! Even that word seems somewhat inadequate to describe this collection. Thank God for people like your friend who were wise enough and blessed enough to accumulate these fabulous items.... And thank You for sharing them with us!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaflash8 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I remember the blue cop on the motorcycle and have had some of the cars right below it....Dinky Toys I think. Anyway, I am 76 and was playing with cars by the time I was three. Yet, I saw very few of these kinds of toys. A cousin had one of those iron trucks, and I had the Graham coupe, but by the time I can remember we were into WWII plastic cars with plastic wheels and axles. We did have a lot of hard rubber cars, and I still have some of those, i.e. 1935 Ford coach. This man has a virtual museum, and some day it will make an auction with unfathomable value. Great pictures....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
