...and maybe show me your little metal cars too! :p

Alright, time for a Tootsie Roll-Call. Show 'em if ya got 'em...

Found these two together this past Summer - Red Jaguar Roadster & Blue MG Roadster - both in the larger 3" scale size:

Jag%20&%20MG%20Tootsies.jpg


The Jag has what appears to be .177 cal. BB/pellet hole ventilating it's engine compartment - nice red target don't cha know? I found this exact car, in the exact same condition (minus the hole) on eBay with the following description:
XK-120 Jaguar Roadster - Die Cast - 3" - TootsieToy, Chicago, USA - Original Red, mostly gone - one tire missing - condition: fair

For a generally higher commanding price of $12.98

The MG fairs a similar physical description (minus all 4 tires on mine, but does have the axles) and color match to this eBay auction where it too is commanding a higher price of $29.97

MG Roadster - Die Cast - 3 1/8" - Tootsietoy, Chicago, USA - hard rubber tires - Original Blue - condition: very good

They'll go back into the Goodie Bucket and keep their fellow kin company... :)
 
Heres mine!!!!! I believe it's a 1953 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe

My three favorites, all found at sites after the houses were moved. The coupe is hard rubber(eyeballed) I refinished the Vette. The blue coupe must've been under a porch or something.

I thought maybe everybody was getting bored, and starting to take pictures of their toes to compare!!!!:lol::lol::lol: (I'm bored, but not that board..... but it did get me to look!)
