Seriously!! And imagine what it would cost. The cheap plastic toys today are expensive and break in no time.

It speaks to the quality of manufacturing that we used to have that it can be restored to such pristine condition. I love these videos breathing new life into old things.

I had this exact same Tonka firetruck when I was four or five years old back in the 70s. No idea what happened to it, but I like to think it's still around and either some kid is playing with it, or it's in somebody's collection. This brought a smile to my face, and made me more than a little nostalgic. Well done.
