Alabama, by way of Detroit, Tampa Bay, Alabama and
Been experimenting with some new settings on the F70 and some extremely masked high conductors are still coming out of some very difficult sites.
Been using the Racer at the same sites with similar settings, kinda, but not much luck yet.

Yesterday I found this 1918 wheat that although dirty is in pretty good shape with some decently sharp details.
Considering the super heavily hunted site I found it a big victory on this one.

Also found this toy car but not like any I have ever seen before...pics below.
Might be older, it was deep enough but I am not sure.
The body is metal but does not stick to a magnet, comes in way high at quarter range so I don't think it's zinc.
It came with white paint when new.
The rest of the car is made up of 3 pieces of plastic.
I took it all apart to see if I could find a name somewhere but no luck.
There is something on the bottom plate...NO. S 694.
Cannot find anything about it online so far relating to that number.

Not a Matchbox, Tootsietoy, Midgetoy...don't think it is from Lesney or a Dinky toy either but I might be wrong.
I believe it might be a late 20's to early 30's Chrysler Roadster but if someone can pin down the actual make, model and year for me my search might be more fruitful.

Still cool, I hope it's old but all that plastic seems odd for an older toy.

Thanks for any help on this.

Cool!

Digger, sometimes with toys a car is just a car. The car may share a resemblance to an actual production vehicle, but is/was not intended to model it. Other times toy manufacturers do a great job modeling an existing vehicle. Some of those 1960's Matchbox cars are excellent! Even their dashboards had a strong likeness.

Now scaled model kits are another thing all together. ;)
 
are the fenders plastic or metal? i had a similar car as a kid that had an orange body with brown fenders. it was from the 70's or 80's, which is why i ask if the fenders are plastic.
 
when i was younger my father had toy cars like this and if i am not mistaken they were made by Hubley die cast and were made of cast iron

Only the body is metal, everything else is plastic.
Fenders are brown but n it sure if that was the original color...it is uniform so maybe.

Thanks!
