89akurt, I know what you are going through. Both my parents passed this year. Dad died in March; Mom followed in July. A deep sadness comes over you, and it is ok to cry. It is part of the grieving process! May the Holy Spirit relieve you of your pain and replace it with God's love! God Bless!
Gay toys- Walled Lake, Mi is now American Plastic Toys. Same location, still in business. I had a 1/16th or1/20th 1966 Bronco from there. It was super detailed like an AMT promo. Lots of quality for a plastic toy! LOL
The Jo-han trademark was abandoned in 2002? It probably cost $$$$ to renew or re-register it. Lawyers bought the rights to it. The new Johan purchased the rights to the name from those lawyers? Google- Johan trademark- who owns it?
David G. , remember this started out as a Promo by Hubley then released as a kit by Hubley in 1962? It was also released by Minicraft in the late 80's early 90"s and by many others. The tool is getting worn out in its many travels. You did a good job on this despite the body tool being worn out!
doorsovdoon , look up 1/25th chevy stake truck diecast of the 1st truck shown. I think it was Ertl and/ or Liberty classics were the makers? They made a Cambell's Soup version and Coke- a- cola truck like that. Please google it. Sorry I don't have a link!!!
