The vast array of Ford toy car models start with very early castings from Dinky through to the more recent models from Micro in New Zealand. These include Thunderbirds, Zephyrs, Falcons, Fairlane, and lots of others.
Early die-cast models were simple castings while more enhanced variants came with windows from the 1960’s and lots of other features. This gallery is a compilation of all the Ford models in my collection.
Matchbox 71 Ford Heavy Wrecker Truck
An early Charbens split casting Old timer or Old Crock model. The box label is over printed by rubber stamp and the only part I can make out is Ford but it is a #4 1907 Ford.
The casting split down the centre is clear in this picture of the Charbens model. This makes it an early casting as later issues were a one piece casting.
