And we are all still marvelling at what has passed.

@jack-dodds That is about the same number of years for me. However, I no longer have it. The model was a 1949 or 1950 Ford painted as a US Army car.

@jack-dodds I never collected Dinky toys but this Plymouth Station Wagon is really neat.

"No one reminded me I was young. How come everyone now is reminding me that I am old?"
😆 😆 😆
I vividly recall being in the kitchen when my mother said, "Notice that second that just passed? We'll never have that second back, it's gone forever." Being 9 or 10, that was a profound statement; it really made me think....
That was 50 years ago! 😔 😔 😔

Yes I have always been partial to it; although it's not to scale (longish nose and a bit wide) but it is a kid's toy after all. A later version came with spun wheels.
