Vintage Toys : Auto Carriers

Produced by numerous manufacturers, the Auto Carriers were a great interactive toy to load/unload and keep cars. Autos were not always from the same manufacturer, and are often missing from these toys. Every attempt is made to match the correct automobiles to specific carriers, but my display has a few mismatches featuring available cars from my collection.
