Vintage Toys

Even at six years old I knew how to impress the young ladies, use funny hats and technology. I'm sporting the Texaco Toy Fire Chief Eagle Helmet with a working microphone and spreaker. You could buy these at Texaco Gas Stations back in the mid-sixties.

Texaco's slogan: "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star"

This is the single most coolest toy I ever remember having. It was so detailed: battery powered with a working motor, wipers, signals, horn, sounds, lighted dash board and gauges. In my adult life I've never had a real car with as cool of a dash. Also check out that AM transistor radio off to the left side. I'm sure soon after that was opened, it was tuned-in to WLS playing all the hits from December 1962.
