topher5150 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I havent taken a pic yet but i was looking for some info on an antique corvette cast iron toy. Its a 1950spurple vette about 1/12-1/16 in scale the hood and i think the trunk open not sure on the doors. The engine is a straight six but its just a molded piece of plastic insert. Im guessing its from the mid to late 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I don't think it's cast Iron, maybe diecast? My first thought was the Hubley Corvette but the engine "insert" does not sound right. Going to need to see the photos, several have been made in 1/12 to 1/18 scale. Any markings on the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher5150 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 That's the one. Is there any value in restoring these, spare parts availability? This is my dad's and it's pretty rough, no paint, no dash, no wind shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
