I have always been a fan of Tonkas. I lived by Minnetonka Minnesota for a while and was always going to try to visit the plant but never got around to it. Nice collection of vehicles, I especially like the Jeep.

Short story about Tonka. In my youth I drove tractor trailer for my Father. He owned a few. Late one night I was on a highway in South Dakota with a large cattle semi heading out to pick up a load of feeder calves. I was driving a tractor that had a top speed of 85mph when the governor kicked in. I was going 85. I saw in my mirror a set of many lights coming up behind me very quickly. It passed me like I was standing still. The truck had scores of clearance lights and had a big banner painted on the tail gate . TONKA TOY COMPANY. He must have been going well over 100mph.
Course the speed limit for trucks in those days was 45mph.

I sure like the fourth picture down, the soft top truck (maybe) or maybe a Jeep? Anyway, I really like the distressed look it has. Nice collection but yes, you need a tank.

My oldest brother,now 89, was in corp management at Avon years ago and used to send us a lot of those collectible cannisters for Christmas over the years. I had a bunch of them.
