Some Ghosts From My Past

[Chuck Most]

I've been getting a little nostalgic lately, thinking about some of the old toys I had as a kid, and a couple stick out in my mind.

One was a 1:24/1:25 Mustang GT ('87 vintage or so) convertible. It was molded in bright, almost neon orange, with a black interior, and had friction drive. It might even have been a promo- I have no idea where it came from or where it is today. Anyone else remember one of these- or better still, have a picture or two?

The other one was a small-scale die-cast Volvo COE truck. I'm not sure the scale, but it was about four or five inches long. It had a flatbed with molded in sides, and it came with a plastic garage you assembled yourself, which was molded in gray plastic with white doors and smoked windows, and fit together via tounge and groove.

Sorry, no pictures- these were long gone 20 years ago. Just wondered if anybody could help ID who manufactured them
