Is The Tootsietoy Model T Ford Toy From 1912 Worth Anything?

Diecast Collector — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 07:59:40 +0000

Hi, my great grandfather gave me a little tootsie toy model T ford die cast truck that he got as a gift from the police force for his 50th anniversary 50 years ago. on the bottom it says “Model T Ford 1912 Tootsie toy Chicago 24 USA.” I was reading about it on the internet and I saw that it was a “prized collectors item.” It is in great runnning condition, but the paint is chipping in places. It has yellow plastic wheels and the rest is diecast. the seats are painted yellow, the steering wheel and the front radiator are painted gold, and the rest is painted black. I was wondering if it was worth anything. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Design A Custom Model Car…?

Diecast Collector — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:51:29 +0000

My boyfriend had a car that was his baby. He put a lot of work into it to customize it. For Christmas I was thinking of trying to find some way to get custom model car of his, but I’m not sure if that’s even possible. Does any one know where I can have something like this made? Or even just find a diecast of a 2002 Chevy Cavalier. Even if it wasn’t customized I’m sure he would appreciate it.

Hey guys I have a friend that I would like to get a Shelby GT diecast model car for, and I am not a diecast car collector by any means so I dont know the good places to get them (whether on net or off) but the twist is I would like to engrave it somehow. So is there any sites out there that offer engraving on model cars? If not, then where can I go to have it engraved after I purchase it, thanks in advance

Which Model Car Should I Get For My Boyfriend?

Diecast Collector — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:49:23 +0000

Ok My Boyfriend loves Chevelles he is always taking about 69 Chevelle SS and how he can never find any kind of Chevelle Model Cars to put together.. I decided to search the internet so I could get one for his birthday. He said his dream car is Black with Two white stripes down the frount…
So this is what I have found:
This one looks nice but is more pricy then others but nothing rediculous but it looks already put togetherhttp://cgi.ebay.com/1968-CHEVROLET-CHEVE…
Here is one I think that he can put togetherhttp://cgi.ebay.com/1967-CHEVY-CHEVELLE-…
Here is one with the stripes and it looks like you can put it together but it also looks like it is going to be over my budgethttp://cgi.ebay.com/AMT-1970-Chevelle-SS…
