metal 1939 Desoto

[desoto1939]

I came across a metal model of a 1939 Desoto that was made by Keystone/Kingsbury Toys.

This is a wind-up toy. There are several models of this metal toy. One has a plastic sun roof and another has a battery try to work the headlights and tail lights.

This is a nice addition to the real 1939 Dsoto that I own.

I have vendor spot at Hershey and the vendor across from me was a toy dealer. I got to know him during the 4 days that I was there and we were talking about Keystone toys and then he brought out three of these models. He had an Orange one that had the sun roof but it was missing some parts and then he showed me this model and I took this one because it was the same green color as my real 1939 Desoto Car.

So how many owners have a real model toy of their car? They are out there just have to find them. This sit on the top shelf of my bookcase so no little hands and fingers can get at it to play with it aong with my metal fire truck that is a stuuco hook and ladder that I had when I was a kid.
