We discussed this little Beetle over at kaefermodelle.de
Could be made by Triang (found some with friction engine), could come from Hungary (without engine). Not sure. |

As toy collectors. sometimes we must get creative to find things.
My wife collects dolls, and I like to take her to doll shows. 90% of the people there are female doll collectors, but I look for
accessories for my VW toy collection. On Saturday I found these miniature wooden crates full of produce, and thought they
would make good cargo for this old German plastic pickup.
Sometimes a little creative thinking can liven up an already cool toy. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

Oval window toy in marbalized plastic. Previous owner said it was from Peru.
This is one of Hacksaw BoB's favorites.
According to his model website, it has extra good hood and decklid detail _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

Another new addition. This Herbie is a Hong Kong friction toy that was not licensed by Disney. It is marked FIL 6210 on
the base, and was available in a number of different versions, including this Herbie.
One of its brand names was Mego, giving this unauthorized model its nickname, the "Mego Herbie." _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
