American Toy Trucker

04/06/2026

Maybe part of the reason I collect toy trucks as I never had a son and God gave me a grandson with a grandpa with a huge collection. My girls loved My trucks and trains growing up and still love the the new ones I find. It's been a tradition for me to get a new truck on my birthday but never one that tasted so good. Happy birthday to me and happy collecting. 😁🎂

My reaction 😯

Veryfine Nylint tankers
Veryfine juice beverage brand now owned by Sunny Delight Beverages. Started as Standard Vinegar Co. in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 1865 sold to kraft 2004.
Yes very fine tankers. I have seen a couple of these red tanker with Apple graphics beforeover the years. It has the sample sticker very cool and unique. The white was the production version I have seen a few not often very nice matching set.

Diet Pepsi "you got the right one baby" with gold trim . I'm not a real big fan of the gold trim but this is a very nice looking truck with amazing graphics all the straps .

Ideal roaring into the new millennium
I already have 1 or maybe a couple of these trucks but this one's very good box all the straps.

Box four of 19

As a trucker from the 80s and a promotional press steel toy truck collector for almost 40 years. The stories of where they came from are the best and you have an amazing story Ertl, Nylint and a few others made the majority of the private labeled pressed steel toy trucks in the '80s and '90s not available for sale. Given as employee and retirement gifts, commemorating lives for what they did. I picked up the tanker version and the one similar to yours the first version of 3 from a guy up near Grand rapids Michigan who ended up with the trucks but they were given to his friend who work for Schneider. It was kind of an emotional partying of the trucks but I told him I don't sell toys and they would always be in my possession along with its memories. Thanks for sharing.

I searched for the one I have for years. Thinking I would never find a Pepsi twin boom wrecker Ihad onlyseenin the Nylint Inc collection aucton When I posted it, everybody said it was a custom. Now, this auction shows up. I believe i've seen this one sell previously I have now seen 4 sell since I posted mine I'm sharing this so I can follow it. But if you're interested, this is a pretty awesome collection selling in the first of august.

450+ lots that include M&J Customs, Hubley, Nylint, Ertl, Buddy L, Smith Miller, Buckeye, Tonka, Structo, DCP, CCM & more!

I saw this Nylint Red Arrow St Louis Missouri, in a local antique store about 3 yrs ago, been sitting collecting dust there till it found it's way home. The seller wouldn't budge on the price, said father drove for the company. I have seen one sell online but nobody makes just one the made in the early 80s, judging from the box. Any info let me know.
Happy collecting! 😁
