I have a lot of mystery cars, by which I mean I have no idea what manufacturer made them, so a little contest for a prize package, Over the next few weeks I will post mystery cars here and the first person to post (replies) who made them gets a point. I will track the points and whomever has the most when I run out of cars, wins. Prize package to be announced a little later.

Stay tuned for the first pics

The only problem here is, since I have no idea who the manufacturer is, I'll have to believe, so maybe the first person will post an incorrect answer, and teh 2nd or third post will get the point. And we will hope we won't get into a big arguement, judges decision will be final :o)

I'm guessing Yat's on the vans up top. I have a few of those that also have no manufacturer's name on them. EH

I'd guess the first series of vans are Welly castings. Welly copied a bunch of Yatming castings back in the day.

The Mercedes and the Hummer are both by Realtoy.

Matching wheels with other vehicles, and I have variations on these two models.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
The 8 spoke wheeled vans are Wellys, as craftymore said.
The 5 spoke in the same pictures is Universal.
The Realtoys were correctly indentified by NoirGuru.
The VWs are Kinsmart.

No idea what the van on the right is in the second picture, but it doesn't appear to resemble a Bedford.

In the other set of vans, the Bedford CF almost has to be a Summer brand.

According to what research I've only been able to find by hand.

The Air Canada vehicles look like Welly too. I have some dump trucks with wheels that look identical to those. Just a guess.

The red Chevy truck is a Welly . . . 8 dot wheels as opposed to the 6 dot that Yatming used for the same casting. Not sure about the other two trucks.

The 8th set van is in fact a Toyota Previa, made by a company called Pioneer. Often found in adventure sets, containing props and houses sometimes. I have that same van somewhere, but its at my parents house.

EDIT

The 9th set Brown truck is a Welly, the red is a Yat Ming.

Red truck is not Yat Ming, it's a Welly. Brown looks to be another Universal to me. The other pickup looks like a Zylmex and shouldn't be the same casting (but I'd like to see some more pics of the base to be sure- I don't remember Zee ever having a Subway promo).

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Oooooh, I'd love to have both of those AC vehicles, especially the tour bus. I've never seen either!

Ivan, I am sure we can work out something, but you would have to take the WestJet casting also....
