Darin's Vintage Trucks
Welcome to my page of
vintage toys and trucks.
Pictured here are some of
the trucks that are in my
collection. I also collect
20's - 40's windup toys as
well as many styles of
wind-up racers. I am
interested in nice Marx,
Wyandotte, and Banner,
pressed metal and
lithographed trucks.
Please check back
frequently.
If you can help any on
research, please contact me.

These Marx trucks were produced in the mid-40's. All of them, with the exception of the two moving vans, came in color variations, with the cab frequently
being red but would come in blue or yellow, or gray occasionally for a few of them. Most of them are windup trucks with the exception of the Auto
Transport and the other two in the 3rd row being push trucks. Almost all of these trucks can be found with the Log truck, United Van Lines, and the
Sunshine Fruit Growers being tougher and the Apex and Deluxe Transit being very rare to find. Most of the boxes for these trucks are Rare...

Some of the many examples of 50's Marx Delivery Trucks
Three versions of the 50's Marx small Dodge

Supply" truck that I have yet to find. (There
are other versions of the Dodge-style cab

difficult to find, especially with the box.

truck is a Canadian truck and surfaces alittle more than the Bowman's one.

3 Marx mid 50s' Chevy cab trucks. The Army transport w/ cannon(L) also came with a few wooden bullets. The Army transport(C) seems to be a basic

litho. It, as well came with a few Marine figures. It came from a case of unsold ones from a Marx dispersal sale in the late 70's
