Some good finds there! Is that a Honda CRX? I'm not positive, but my first guess would be Welly. I really like the ambulance! Edited by juantoo3, Jul 1 2012, 03:18 PM.

The CRX was originally a Zylmex / Zee, however is was only released by Zylmex in red with black interior. After the Redbox/Motor Max take-over, the CRX was re-released in some other colors, all with a light tan interior. So, the casting stems from Zylmex, but your blue one was released under the Redbox / Motor Max ownership. I think most people still consider it a Zylmex / Zee casting - I do. original: ![]() updated wheels; still released by Zylmex: ![]() re-release, shades of green: ![]() re-release, black: ![]() re-release, blue: ![]() |

Hongwell, based on what was originally a Zima casting. It was featured as Car Of The Day awhile back: http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/6858549/1/#new It's a nice find, especially with those wheels! |

Are the doors on the RX7 supposed to open? I know the ones on CoTD had sealed doors, but the above one looks like it has opening doors, yet opaque windows. |

Just for information, the Zima version had opening doors, which explains why this copy-cat Hongwell has the deep grooves around the doors. |

I always liked the MBX Flying Bug (and the matching MiniHaHa). You got some great scores there! The red 57 Chevy looks to be an early version of that casting, right after the redline release. Shape isn't too bad, could be better but good ones aren't cheap. Is the Spiderman Van a Scene Machine, and is the image still good? If so, that one is an excellent find, but keep it out of direct sunlight...sunlight will destroy the slide inside very fast. The redline, if you're interested, is called the Swinging Wing. When first released in spectraflame paint it came with a large wing attachment on the back. Later, in '72 I think it was, Mattel did some cost cutting and they did away with the wing on this model. The irony isn't lost on me...what good is a Swinging Wing without a wing? If I'm not mistaken, that is a Shell promo issue that was sold or given away with a fill up back in the day. So a lot of these got played with and tossed. You did well finding this one. Great scores! |

the swingin wing is a wisconsin toy co. promo. I realize the swingin wing had a wing (because i have an older one)![]() ![]() Thanks for the info on the spiderman van. I wouldnt have realized that. The slide appears to be in great condition. there was only one 57 chevy with rls and it was a variation of this car (1977 flying colors series) I guess $4 was a good price for that box of cars! |

Yes, Wisconsin Toys would have been my next guess. Very good! $4 was an excellent price for this set of cars! |
