ewetwo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Does anyone know anything about these cars? The 4 big ones. I have no idea what the little black rod sticking up from the hoods are for. No name anywhere on them that I can see. I'm sure they are Cadillacs. The green ones look to be Mercurys and all that's on them is JVZ Co. And the multi colored ones say F&F Mold and Die Works, Inc. Dayton, Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Mercurys were cereal premiums, I have some that I got out of Honey Comb as a kid. The top ones may be too. No clue on the Cadillacs on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 I figure that the Mercurys are from the late 70's? The other multi colored groups from the 50? And the Caddies from the 50s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I believe those Cadillacs were sold at places like Kresge's and Woolworth's, from bins in their toy departments, back in the 1950's, for all of perhaps 25-cents each.

Rodent Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I had a 60s gas station that you put water in one of the pumps. One of the cars had a hole in the trunk lid that allowed you to put "gas" in it. IIRC, it had a pin on the hood like these. It pushed out a plunger on the bottom so you could drain the "gas" when you were done playing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Zipper Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 A few of the cars and trucks pictured look like they might be made by a company called-Wannatoy, typical dime store toy cars trucks , air planes and tanks from the 50s and 60s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
