Welcome to Tales of Toy Cars, a monthly publication. This
publication is edited by Doug Breithaupt, who's toy car collection (visit the Toy Room) is featured on the minicars.htm
portion of this site (additions to the collection since 2000 are featured
in 'Expanding the Collection' in each issue. The purpose of this effort
is to create a forum to share a common interest in toy cars, with special
attention to 1:64 scale). Back issues are also availble for review from
the bottom of this page. We have a link to our new Forum
partner. If you are wondering what's missing from the collection, visit
the 'Seeking' list. A list of toy cars for sale
or trade is on the Sale/Trade
page. You can visit our newest Sponsor.
Comments and contributions from readers are welcome via e-mail.
