Wow Quarter Gauger that Hornet is super detailed, including the side draft carbs on the engine. I have been away from this thread for awhile, keeping my head down and staying home, but here are some pictures of a "garage sale" find from recent days...not much detail but I love the classic style and color. It is a Tootsietoy Flatbed, cab styling date it from about the 1950's. My internet history told me that ..."by late 1960's all Tootsietoys were made in Asia". This one clearly has..."Made in USA" stamped into the casting so its a somewhat earlier version. The truck is painted "Tootsietoy Green" which was a special shade associated with the company. The only details are some lights, bumper, and grill painted in silver and some cab top lights painted in red. No add on details at all, and I know that the stakes for the trailer are missing. Its a little small for scale but it makes a great background piece and its fun to have on the layout.
Glad to post here again, missed doing this for awhile.
