I remember this little yellow Playskool bus. It was my little brother’s when we were kids, back in the 1960s. Now his little boy is playing with it. It works. The driver’s head turns and the headlight eyes move up and down. We even have all the pieces – all the little passengers. The driver’s hat is missing, and I couldn’t tell you where it is. But strangely, somewhere back in the dark corner of memory, I think I remember it being removed.
One interesting thing about this bus: The chassis is made of two blocks of solid wood. The body is plastic, but the core of the toy is wood blocks. Keeps the center of gravity low, reducing risk of rollover accidents.
You got anything this cool left from the days?

i still have all of my old Hot Wheels in the travel case that looks like a big plastic tire. if only they were still in their packaging with the little metal badges — i'd sell them and finaly be able to retire to Hawaii…
