Plasicville Vehicle Set

 I like to use them as is - a tongue-in-cheek 1950's town made of plastic that requires a little imagination and brings back many memories. 

Same here.  I have a few sprinkled around.  I hate to customize them unless damaged, thinking they are a sort of collectible.  They sure could use some better wheels/tires, though.

I like them, too.  Also look for old Post cereal 'premiums' and check out Gasoline Alley antique toys for tons of other "toy like" toy  cars.  They have plastic, rubber, slush mould, early cast, and a herd of others.

Dimestore Dreams used to have a nice line, but they're out of business now I understand.

Someone is producing repros of Plasticville and Marx plastic shell cars and trucks, but the name escapes me.

they and similar plastic toy cars are incredibly cool.  I think they remind us we were all kids once, and what toy trains were all about. 

Tandem Associates provides background and a source of parts, but I don't see any vehicle parts.

They're not Plasticville or Marx.  They're not even plastic.  But, I remember as a kid seeing Midgetoy and Tootsietoy vehicles used in just about every Christmas train garden

in Baltimore.   The Midgetoy vehicles, I thought, were somewhat more refined than the Tootsietoys.  

I also have some Processed Plastic vehicles that were made in the mid 1950s.  The ones I have are 2 1956 Cadillac Eldorados, a 1956 Chevy Nomad, and a 1956 Chevy LCF flatbed.   

Robert Grossman Company!

I knew the name would come to me.

I bought about 10 'Studebaker' sedans from him a couple of years back, one in each color he offers.  Also has panel trucks, ambulances, police and fire cars, and military vehicles.

Now that you brought it up I think it's about time to order some more.
