Description: Collecting diecast toy cars has become an increasingly popular hobby over the last 25 years. Many of the classic diecast cars of the 1950s and 1960s are now valuable collectors items and surviving examples in mint and boxed condition regularly fetch significant sums at specialist auctions. Diecast Toy Cars of the 1950s & 1960s provides a comprehensive survey of the companies that made these toys not only in Britain but in other European countries the US a Japan and beyond. Major names such as Dinky Toys Corgi Toys Spot - On and Matchbox (Great Britain) Solido (France) Marklin and Gama (Germany ) Tekno (Denmark) and Tootsietoy (US a) are examined but a unique feature of the book is the wealth of information provided on many smaller and more obscure brands. These include Crescent Budgie Chad Valley and Lone Star (UK) CIJ and JRD (France) Dalia (Spain) Buby (Argentina) Gamda (Israel) and many others about which information is hard to come by. A special chapter is devoted to early Japanese diecast models by Cherryca Phenix Model Pet and Diapet which are among the rarest and most sought - after of all diecasts. Fascinating insights into company histories are provided together with 300 photographs of rare examples of the toys themselves in mint condition with their original boxes. A further unique feature is the inclusion of a large selection of colourful and evocative illustrations from catalogues and period trade advertisements. For the newcomer to the collecting hobby this book will provide an ideal guide to the history of the manufacturers active in this field while experienced collectors will make many new discoveries. At the end of the book readers will find a handy glossary listing the names of many of the companies that manufactured diecast toy cars in the 1950s and 1960s.
