    I've been posting some of the trucks and trailers I acquired lately. I've done a Structo and a Marx little big rig. Now it's time for my favorite of the group a Hubley. This is a 506 truck of the 510 series made during the "Hubley Kiddie Toy" era. This would make it mid 50's or earlier. The cab has 3 major pieces and is more detailed than the Hubleys produced afterward. The truck body has major paint deterioration as well as the grader to a lesser degree. The trailer is in the best condition of the group. I'm thinking restoration, but I want to keep the paint scheme as close to original as possible. This had to be a premier set for its time. Having a road grader as the load amps up the playability factor to 11. I can imagine pulling up to the construction site sandbox with this bad boy. You would rule. I miss this era I lived in as kid. I guess that's one reason I collect. Memories are so wonderful sometimes and take you back to that troublefree world where imagination ruled.
