Sadly, 2 of these are not mine. Only one that is mine is the last picture. Pressed steel. approx. 12 inches long.Yellow car has no features and is free rolling. Green car has spring/ spiral drive setup on rear axle. Not 100 percent convinced yellow car is General Toys, might be made by Buffalo toys. , but we will call it General Toys for now, closest match so far after researching for 8 months after first seeing it. As with a lot of Canadian toy companies, there always seems to be a USA made similar model. Fun to see who made what first. Toy tariffs were common at one time. It fun to search for small variations. Cool, but rare and expensive, so did not buy either of these. But I am keeping an eye on them. :)

Very Nice! I have never seen one of these.
Thankyou antiquerose and AZTom for the kind comments. Thankyou for the loves everyone. Very few of these turn up for sale anywhere. Every one of them I have seen so far is always different. I'm beginning to think they made 1 of each style. lol. I nned to find out more about them, but as Canadian toy collectors know, Canada has a terrible history of keeping and filing information on our toy past. I can spend hours digging through info, only to see the same articles and pictures arranged in different ways, but no new information. At least I have a hobby that will take many years to gain any decent shred of knowledge on.
