    Thought people might like to see a photo of a tin toy Rambler wagon I have. The windshield wipers go back and forth when you roll the car. I thought it was pretty cool!

    That all depends on how many toy cars you have. I have toy cars all over my house and dusting them would be a full time job. But whats worse, every time you dust, you risk breaking off small irreplaceable parts.
    Consider that dust to be a patina. I think its a pretty cool toy. I would be afraid of breaking the wipers if I dusted. and the windshield itself is probably extremely brittle and would likely turn to dust itself if wiped.

    I do have one more station wagon. I'll post a photo tonight if I can. It's a Buddy L Ford with the TeePee camping trailer. I also have a large collection of Corgi vehicles, most of which I've had since childhood.

    Really nice condition on the Buddy L 63 Country Squire. I've only seen the Squire in white and the Country sedan non-woody version in red or blue when I've seen them on E-bay. That one is definitely a keeper.
