I had chance to speak to an esteemed FCBO member about the toys..not the "big boy/girl" kind that weigh a couple of tons..of my youth that helped fan/spark the flames of today's passion for iron and steel.
I had many but one stands out.
"Santa Claus" picked it up at our local A&P supermarket just in time for Christmas 1964. Man oh man. Crusader 101. I dont have many things left from my youth...I still have this toy 50 years later. Me, the beige guy, and my sisters' Barbie dolls took many an adventure.

Please post a picture or a reference to the toys of your era that made an impact...the pedal car, the soap box racer, the Hot Wheel set, the pedal/motorized bike, the model car, building kit, train set, push toy, whatever..on you that resonates to the present. Maybe you still have it, like I still have my Crusader 101?
