Great photography!  Are these the Fords for 1931?

It must be a genetic thing, this car attachment.  The very first childhood memory I can recall is when my mean older sister took two tires off my tan Dinky Plymouth woody wagon (my very first Dinky Toy) and threw them into the bushes off our balcony; lost forever.  I was devastated!  We moved from that town in Nova Scotia in 1956 when I was just 4, so I guess my model car addiction did indeed start young.

@d-m-holcomb  These are Citroen B14 cars from the mid-twenties made from tin in ca. 1/10 scale. They were distributed by "Jouets Andre Citroen" but I don't know who actually manufactured them.

At auctions here in Europe good examples can fetch 1000 Euros and more.

Some detail shots:

Many thanks, Ralf.  I sincerely appreciate this, as I was most impressed by these toys/models.  I'll keep my eye open!
