The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

All of the trucks are Wellys. Camaro- I'm not sure. Isuzu Amigo - Realtoy Ice cream truck- at least one is a Realtoy (the more Hot Wheels looking of the pair) and I think the other one may also be a Realtoy but with the casting modified a bit. Volvo - Summer |

All the OLDER Tomica I have ever seen has "Tomica" on the base along with vehicle name, scale and a catalog number. I cannot say if that is true with current Tomica? Some of the knock off Tomica casting are so identical it makes one wonder if they were actually produced from the same body mold, with a generic base and wheels? |

Swifty's identifications are spot-on. I, too, believe both ice cream trucks are Realtoys. The Camaro is a Soma. Dean |

The newer Tomica still have the name on the base - there's no mistaking that. Some of the copies are close, but they are never quite there. Then there is the "Made in Japan" factor - I've never seen an older Tomica knock off that came from Japan. |

One more note, the blue sedan - the one that looks like a Dodge Dynasty or Chrysler New Yorker, and has an Audi symbol tampo printed on the hood, is supposed to be a Volvo 740 / 760, made by Summer, as Swifty said. Your example is old enough, that it should still have the Volvo trademark, diagonal stripe cast in the plastic grille. I swear though, that this looks so much more like one of the Mopar sedans, that someday, I'm going to try to customize one with the Dynasty front and rear details and see how it turns out. Dean |

Support your local demo derby.

I had a Green audi hatch that was made by Summer that had nearly an identical tamp/paint job on the hood from my childhood collection. I too was always under the impression that the blue sedan casting was a Vovlo as well. |

It is close but the Dyanasty and New Yorkers had a squared rear roof c pillar rather than slanted, and much smaller lug nuts. |

Everything out of Detroit back then was emasculated. I blame the Women's Movement! |
