Vehicles needed

[Anonymous]

I am in need of a couple of 50's era tractor/trailors,either dry vans or reefers. Does anyone know of any manufacturers that I can check out? It doesn't matter if they are plastic or metal but I would like to keep the price somewhere around $10.
Thanks for any help-- Bob

Hi Bob;

In addition to Bruce's list:
IMEX, some of thier "future releases" are already out. I bought a 870186 at show in Plano Texas last month.

IMEX company website.

And they turn up ebay often.

Another manufacturer, no longer in this line of business is Ertl, which you can find on e-bay.

There is also some Matchbox stuff that fits what you are looking for, that I have seen on ebay.

This is the search I use on ebay for
>1/87 vehicles.
