Good monirng All; Another successful Macungie show has come and gone! The weather held off for both Friday and Saturday! I think so many people were scared off Saturday by the DOOM & GLOOM weather report that they came late! Better for me and my friends since wedid get a few nice treasure but I could use some help in definitively identifying the unknowns. Those are attached as UNK 1-5, the first 5 attached pics. UNK 3-4 is a model of a Dodge Ram MegaCab I bought at Tractor Supply Company. I think its an ERTL but I am not sure. The YATMING, althought not the best quality, was only $.25 so I couldnt pass it up! Thanks everyone for your help Edited by HWJOE, Aug 4 2014, 08:57 AM.

UNK5 is a Chevy C-10 by Universal (later released as a Kidco - same company, just a marketing name change). |

The one labeled Imperial, is also a Yat Ming (1966 Chevrolet Malibu). Imperial distributed them, but they were all Yat Ming castings at that time in Imperials history. |

I always thought Zee/Zyl and Yat always put their name on the chassis, these have no names? |

Figured, it's pretty detailed casting of an unusual truck! |

This I knew! I have the more common yellow Yatming one with the orange stripes! There is an IMPERIAL sticker over the Yatming name on the chassis. I hadnt seen the gold color on this Imperial/Yatming casting and thought it ewas pretty unusual. |

Unfortunately the picture of the RR doesnt due the true color any justice. Its really almost a dark aquamarine blue! Thanks for all the help! |

Only on the older ones, in both cases. The later, plastic based D-series (Dynawheels) from Zee, usually only came with a D## on the base, and the car name, but even those got blanked out in the late 90's. The plastic base 800 series Yat Ming's never came with the names on the base. |

Sorry to sound like an old pedantic man but the first trucks are actually based on the old Tomica Hino Dolphin. Welly did and indeed still do make a Tomica copy Nissan Diesel Resona truck but these two arn't them. |
