Some recent posts by Scoop featuring reboots of classic Anderson-themed Dinky Toys got me to thinking about some of the Dinky Toys I had as a kid. A lot of them were imported into the U.S., and I found pix on ebay of a few of my favorites, as follows:
Nash Rambler Fire Chief Car in glorious red!
Simca Taxi, red roof, black body, and Whitewalls!
BOAC bus, blue, with that iconic white roof!
Air France Caravelle jet, blue & white box.
Good gosh I loved those toys...

Gosh, the days when Britain still made toys...
ReplyDeleteI know Andy, they were loved the world over!
ReplyDeleteYep the Dinky and Corgi toys really made my childhood! And Matchbox too, had a ton of those. I’m going to do a Corgi memory hunt at some point, had a bunch of those too.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a Corgi Memory Hunt Zigg!
