Fire Truck is High Speed...no doubt. Readers Digest issue.

Pretty sure the KW Anteater is a Summer by the wheels.

A few more from the series. They can also be found packaged as Grell.

If memory serves yours is the '39 Ward La France.

#1 is a Realtoy
#2 is a "T.C." (often sold under the Imperial distribution). The actual name always eludes me. Tack Cheung or something like that. This is one I always have to double check in my copy of the Small Scale Encyclopedia. (I'm not at home, so I am not able to check at the present time).

#3 I can't remember. Someone will know this though, if I can't remember in time.

#4 I have a set of these, and can't remember the name off the top of my head. The Majorette-looking dot wheels and blue windows are the "tells."

#5 silver Porsche appears to be the same manufacture as the purple Corvette. I don't remember having that casting, but my guess would be the same "T.C."

#4 - Happy Kind

Yes, that's the brand name! :lol: I was going into my Photo bucket, to try and find a labeled picture of one of mine, and the name hit me before I could find a pic.

I believe all of those are the new generic Motor Max castings, from the Toys R Us (Fast Lane) gift-sets. It's a shame Motor Max stopped making their licensed cars - they were some of the best budget line models.

Gotta say...I do like the wheels on a couple of them, For low cost wheels, they look presentable.

Yeah, Motormax, another brand down the tubes, their generic castings are just not in my area of interest, bring back Fresh Cherries, American Grafitti, even Hi-Riserz....
