How about pics of your old Aurora HO cars, Matchbox cars, Hot Wheels or ?? Vintage

How about strating a thread with pictures of the old Aurora HO slot cars,
Hot wheels collections
Clankers
Match Box cars
Or anything that correlates to the "old toys" car/automobile related we had when we were younger?
I did have the Aurora HO cars. I thought they were wonderfull toys. I cherished them but they all disapeared.
I also had the British Leyland Match Box cars. They were highly detailed.
Just thought this would be interesting.

This would be cool. It amazing what some of toys will bring these days. Ols Star wars stuff can bring some heavy coin.
I'd have to dig all my stuff out of the storage trailer. Don't really have time right now but we'll see. Hopefully others still have some of their toys.
Had tons of Matchbox car but none made the lifes journy.

That will be cool!
Take your time. I'll try to do the same.
Again, some of these items were highly detailed!
I had some neat Aurora HO cars.
1. 40 Willys "Gasser" style coupe (blue)
2. Tan w/ blk stripes LOLA
3. 67 Red Camaro
4. 67 Yellow Ford Galaxie
Ok, I'll see what I can did up.
Also, pics of current Hot Wheels collections would be interesting.
Stay tuned, no rush.

Had these stored away since the early 70's in a tackle box just dug them out a couple months ago and made a display case for them. the one on the top right wraped up is a never touched yellow 67 galaxy 500. from top to bottom oldest to last ones I got

And my hot wheels just muscle cars and a big toe

how about models most are discontinued and factory sealed

I think I have a problem!

Very cool thread idea, unfortunately all my old childhood toys are all long gone, I had all the above also, Match Box cars were before the Hot Wheels weren't they ?? originally they were not very detailed, wasn't there also Johnny Lightning cars too ??

That's too funny... Those are some very cool toys/cars & displays, I love the old Models, I probably had most of them too, mine were well used & very worn thou...

badmopar67, NICE. Some really cool HO cars. Ford GT, some Chaparrals, Cheetah and my favorit the 917. The 2 orange McLarens, I got to sit in one of those actual cars. Guy had 2 of them. Think only 5 were made.

Some old mixed with the new.

How did you guys keep them in the original packaging ??... I don't think when I was young, I could even make to the car in the parking lot, let alone save them in the original packaging for years afterwords... I remember always bugging my Mom or especially my Dad {the car guy he was, I think he liked them too} to buy me Hot Wheels, that conveniently were almost always at the "impulse buy racks" @ or near the check out counters at the stores, they were push overs, I got tons of them that way, Dad would go to the store allot more than Mom did, usually for beer or cigerettes, but I would tag alone or was drug alone, then sometimes score a few new toys... ;)

Wow! The collections of "toy" cars are pretty amazing! I've only got one, and it sits on my computer at work, to remind me how lucky I am to own a Charger...

My Dad had an HO 4-lane slot car track growing up and still has it,but it got damaged pretty good in a house fire.

Last year my Dad and i decided to get a new one and we made an awesome setup in the shop. Tell Ya what them Charger/Chevelle Races get intense!!

pics of vintage toys

Cool stuff. I still wish I had some of my old stuff.

heres some of mine in a display case,the slot cars i bought because my grandkids got a slot car track and grandpa wanted to race with them so i bought a couple vintage afx cars with 71-72 roadrunner bodys on them,grand kids cars smoked the old afx cars,they could lap me every two laps.modern technolgy i guess,i also started collecting 72 rr promo cars and realyed stuff,seems all the new stuff they come out with i didnt have room for it.
