 Then you'll see a window on the left that says "search within results"  Then type in  193*  with the last digit as the wild card and you'll get two pages of nothin but 1930s stuff. Course, you can use most anything older too, so that's even more.

 Thanks, everyone! eBay looks to have some great deals; I didn't know they had a special diecast car division.

Brian,  That Dogfishhead car is not in the 30's or 40's --- Brewery didn't exist then!    I think Sam started it in the late "80's"

I know --- picky, picky, picky ---- 10 foot rule!

 Most of my cars and trucks are 30/40's and from eBay (diecast section).

 Lots of bargains can be found just make sure to add in shipping. Often pays to get a few cars from one seller. I have gotten a few cars for the minimum bid ($1-5).

There are a lot of vehicles in 1:24.  And many good ones fit the 1930s era you're interested in.  

On our layout we model the late 1940s to early 1950s.  With so many really nice 1:24 scale vehicles out there, it is very easy to get carried away.  The two photos below show just a small sample of our fleet of 1:24-1:25 vehicles.

 

 

Below are direct links (and most with 1930s era cars when I could filter the searches) to a few of the places I've purchased 1:24 vehicles from.

Collectible Diecast

 

eBay Diecast

When searching on eBay diecast, type what ever 1930 year you want in the search bar...and be sure 1:24 scale is selected as well. 

Diecast Fast

Be sure the vehicle you're looking at on Diecast Fast is 1:24.

You can find "Model Diecast" vehicles most every where. They are durable enough to withstand the elements outdoors.

If you want more web sites then google "Model Diecast"

In store inventories change almost daily, at least as far as what is on the shelf.  A case of "Model Diecast" is a mix of vintages.  Normally one from each decade 1930-1990.

 Does anyone know a good website to get some 1:24, diecast or kit-built model cars? I've been looking, but it's very hard to find ones that are in my era (1930s).
