   Very good read. Raised in the early 60s, my dad would often bring me home Corgi and Dinky toy cars and trucks. He bought them at a hole-in-the-wall toy store in NW Washington DC near where we lived (off Westmoreland Circle). They were well made and detailed. Some Dinkys had the optional rhinestone headlights. Interesting, I have in our collection a blue 470 standard FC150. Has the suspension. The interesting part is that it's in its original 409 box. The price back then? pencil marked 1.00. The other 2 we have is a 470 bale loader like the one pictured. I believe it came with a couple bales of hay when new. The 3rd one is a 409 high lift (streetlight) truck. Of course I had to have the tin gas station to service them!

      I'd never seen any of these until I started the website. Dad once brought home a Wolf Creek Pass album though. I think I wore that out :-)

   There is a real nice conveyor loader on ebay right now. (Enter 314324499594) with orig box, diorama, 4 seed bags and the farmer. Original box lists it as (product) 64. located in UK.
